Spam Me Up

I recently returned to the site after a long while away and discovered my attached email account had lain dormant so long it had been deleted

I put a new email account on here - one I don't use for anything else - one that isn't registered to anything at all and hasn't ever had any spam into it

what happens?

very shortly after I begin to be inundated with spam

I've been very careful not to use if for anything else at all - so the spam MUST originate from here -

How is that?

Is this the e-mail address that is in plain view on your profile blurb where any unsavory character (or their automatic webcrawler robot thingys) can find it?

Yep, this is happening. I'm hoping I get all these messages instead of cherries. LOL
