Contact Info for Bob Cromwell

To contact me, send an e-mail message to this address:

Sorry about making you open a mailer window and then transcribe my address by hand (the above is a PNG image, not copy-and-pastable text), but I do not want to get any more spam than I already do.

To do this securely, use my public key.

Once upon a time you could hide your address from the spammer's automated searches by using Javascript, as explained here: http://med.stanford.edu/irt/web/clips/javascript-antispam.html

You can no longer use that trick, as the Javascript function document.write() is not allowed within XML or XHTML.

Some people attempt to fool the spammers' automated searches by obfuscating the HTML mailto: tag and their address through ASCII encoding. However, that is easily circumvented by the spammers.

FYI, that image was created with ImageMagick:

$ convert -size 280x30 xc:transparent -font Helvetica \
	-pointsize 20 \
	-draw "text 10,20 'your-address@goes-here.net'" \
	-fill black address.png
