New email address for Bjorn Lynne
After using the address bjorn@lynnemusic.com for about 8-10 years, and having the address posted publicly on the web site for most of that time, this address now receives as much as 2,000+ spams each day. Even with pretty hard spam filtering, some of it is coming through to my email inbox and is quite an annoyance... so, it's with a heavy heart that I have to let go of this email address.
My NEW email address is:
I'm trying to thwart the spammers a bit by posting it like this, instead of in plain text.

That's really crummy about all the stupid spam. It's really getting bad.
Have you given any thought to just putting a contact form on your site? Visitors could just fill it out with their return address and you'd get the message sent to your email inbox. Further communication would just go through email as usual, and you wouldn't need to post your address anywhere visible (not even as an image).
Amr, you just made his new emailaddress available as TEXT in this post of yours, serving it with topping for the spambots. Allthough its probably picked up by now you (or Bjørn) should remove it asap.
Bård, you are right. Amr had in fact posted my new email address in plain text here in his comment. It didn't really occur to me until you pointed it out. Ouch! Anyway, of course no harm was meant. It's one of those things that can happen. :-) I've removed it now.
