My e-mail address

Not that anyone is likely to need this information, but
just for the record, because of a sudden increase in Spam
e-mail to me and spoof e-mails using my address in the
"sender" line, I've changed my e-mail address slightly,
to use the numeral "5" in place of the former "2".

I wish I knew how to change the appearance of my new
e-mail address in Google so the spammers couldn't use it.

There is also a huge list of email addresses which someone has compiled.
I'm sure this list is on a computer which someone has deliberately
infected with the "sobigf" worm so as to create more spam. I know some
fake email addresses from my domain are on there because I've received
about 50 infected emails in the last 3 days from places which I did not
know even existed.
