Even there, I should note that I do have a "closely guarded" e-mail
address (for my keitai) that does not show up in a search on Google,
Yahoo or MSN. It was ok for the first couple of years, but now it
regularly gets a couple of spam messages per day (beyond what my
SMTP-level filtering blocks.)

I don't know how spammers got it, but get it they did.
