Contacting me

Unfortunately the Net is populated by scumsucking bottom-feeding lowlives who will pounce immediately on anything even remotely resembling a "mailto" button and fill the luckless mailbox with "targetted" advertisments selling such wonders as:

"Unaccredited" degrees (I've already got two real ones; why would I need one of these?)
Pictures of naked cheerleaders (with the traffic charges in New Zealand it's probably cheaper to buy hardcopy - or just go to the local red-light district and rent one).
Political advertisments from foreign countries ("Sure, Senator Bob, I'd vote for you - if I even lived in California")
Assistance in entering the US "Green Card" raffle (the solution to the above problem? :-)
Various variations on the classic "MAKE.MONEY.FAST!!!" pyramid scam (If it's so legal and successful, why do you have to use such dodgy marketing techniques?)
Offers of "cheap" home loans and mortgage plans. Obviously these people didn't do their research, otherwise they'd know that I have a student loan larger than the GDP of some third-world countries.
Viagra. I'm not that old. Yet.
Information "exposing" the cabal of Jewish Negro Communist news admins which is secretly running the world, and how we can defeat them by joining the "WhiteHate" mailing list.
"A complete internet business plan", including massmail software and 250,000 email addresses. (Most of which will bounce, but hey, that's OK, because with the massmail software the bounces will be dumped on some hapless third party, and you'll never know you've been ripped off)
And my favourite - software that will guard your emailbox from spam!

Because of this, I don't want to put a working "mailto" button on my page. However, you can still contact me, with a bit of work. This MailTo button is broken; however if you trim out the obvious munge, you'll be left with an address that works.

If that doesn't work, you'll just have to screw the whole idea and try telepathy.

If you're pissed off about this, and sick of jumping through hoops to send a perfectly normal email, then the best thing you can do is buy an assault weapon, climb to the top of the nearest watertower, cathedral spire, etc, and shoot every spammer you see. Or just kill them all - Kibo will know his own.
