@ or (at)?

Some people may be wondering why all the e-mail addresses on the Lads website have (at) in the middle instead of '@'. The reason is that both viruses and people that send spam use computers to trawl through websites such as this looking for addresses to send things to. It may be a computer virus, it may be an advert for something that people wouldn't want their children to necessarily see. As many people in the district have children we have used a trick to stop this happening. By replacing @ with (at) the computers can no longer read the e-mail address. However, human beings can still figure out what the address should be. Just swap the (at) back to @ and it'll all be OK again!
