If you don't want to publish your email address on twitter, facebook, forums, orkut et cetera then use scr.im which will create an URL that you can publish on any public forum. Scr.im protects your email address by providing you a URL which is when clicked take you to a captcha code page and when correct code is selected it will show you the real email address.
You can edit the scr.im keyword whenever you want. When your scr.im URL appears, notice there's a message and a link to edit it. Click and follow instructions! Alternatively, go to http://scr.im/edit/[yourkeyword]
You can also edit the email address and keeping the scr.im keyword same by changing the old scr.im keyword to something else and registering again with new email id.
If your inbox is full of spam just because you paste your email id in forum then you must give scr.im a chance to protect your email id.
