Right, but ensuring that only those people that actually did contact you by private email have your real address on their computers helps quite a bit, in my experience.
I have this address in numerous places unobfuscated. I get tons of spam, but I rarely see more than a handful a week, which is a much smaller amount than emails from this list that I don't read, so it doesn't bother me. P.S. I wonder if ⒰⒮⒤⒩⒢ ⒮⒯⒭⒜⒩⒢⒠ ⒞⒪⒟⒠⒫⒪⒤⒩⒯⒮ would be effective for blocking harvesting...
