securely post your email in online forums

I sometimes see people posting their email address in online forums, those people may as well kiss their inbox  goodbye as every spam bot on earth will grab it within hours.

If you find you do need to post your address to a forum, who else, but Google is now offering mail "Captcha" service - this forces people to answer a complex question to actually see your email, and you simple post a link to your captcha page in the forums.
