Changing Address for Elearning Events 

I'm changing the address to send invitations or new elearning event information due to a barage of unsolicited commercial messages and scams... even with SpamAssasin and re-routing through Gmail there were about 10-20 junk messages per day.

Effective immediately, please send any invitation or request to post a new elearning event to .

Access to the calendar remains the same, see Google Calendar for Elearning Events for details.

Hi Tom!

You will get less spam if you don't put the email address right on your page. Create a link to a Javascript that builds the email address when clicked. I included an example but the comment police scraped it!
 
Thanks David. I usually do just that- a combination of entity encoding like & and % encoding and Javascript to make an email address and link. However, spammers use programmers to and many are parsing entity encoded text and executing Javascript rather than just looking at raw text. You do what you can to make it require a more sophisticated spammer and filter/block on the inbound side too.
