Good luck. Prof. Knuth stopped reading email years before there was a big spam problem. He uses his own version of hashcash to cut down on unimportant mail: if you want to write to him, you have to send him snail mail, which means buying and using an actual postage stamp. I do something like that, sort of. I no longer publish an email address, including on business cards and so forth. I have a contact url that I give out instead, which keeps me off mailing lists. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
