And I'm going to help in the fight against spam

I have created a couple of dummy mail domains and have created a honeypot web site (elsewhere) for the purpose of helping to trap spammers and such. Anything to try to shutdown or catch these reprehensible reprobates. I have tried using a method of hiding my e-mail address so that it is both visible to humans and clickable but invisible to spammers, but it doesn't work on this blog. Here it what was suggested:
<script type='text/javascript'>var a = new
Array('s','paul@paul-','robinson.u');document.write("<a
href='mailto:"+a[1]+a[2]+a[0]+"'>"+a[1]+a[2]+a[0]+"");
</script>

Welcome to My blog! This is where I store my thoughts so that I can come back to them at some point in the future. This allows me a place like a journal to keep what I'm thinking about. But anyone else is welcome to visit; I make this place public so that other people can hear what I'm thinking.

This is where I make comments on any subject I find of interest. My political comments are in the Politics section, and technical items are in the Computers section. Note, if you want to make a comment, e-mail it to me at paul@paul-robinson.us. I am sorry that I had to disable comments, but after I had deleted the 300th worthless piece of spam comment on this blog and receiving exactly zero valid comments, I decided to stop allowing spammers to excrement all over me and my blog. If you have *anything* at all to say, send it to me in e-mail; if it is even the slightest bit relevant - even if I don't agree with it, I will post it. (As soon as I find a way to stop spammers from posting junk I'll allow direct comments.) Note that if you are a visitor and post a comment, it defaults to "draft" meaning I have to approve it before it is visible, so if you're posting spam, don't bother, nobody will see it.
