That's the problem with using email adress as the measure. I've changed
mine many times in the last five years to avoid spam. Strangely, the
current address gets none, yet has been used for several months now.

I've seen it suggested that spammers now rely more on extracting
addresses from Web pages rather than from newsgroups. (Of course, that
raises the question of whether the Web pages include sites such as
Google Groups.)
