However, unfortunately nowadays spam has become a very annoying and troublesome problem, hence everyone should take very draconian measures in order to cope with it: any unmasked E-mail address can be caught by spam harvesters and spam bots which then send it tons of unsolicited E-mails ruining usability and user's productivity.
Therefore, unfortunately, I am compelled to filter my E-mail in this way in order to get rid of unwanted junk E-mail. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience this system may cause you. I am convinced that if you are interested in communicating with me, you will also willingly invest ten extra seconds to recover my real E-mail address, while allowing me to avoid spammers.
Furthermore, since there are two users in E-mail, the sender and the recipient, a systemic approach to overall usability has to balance both users' needs: I am quite sure you would not like to have your E-mails mixed up with spam and therefore accidentally discarded without having been carefully read.
