Email name

[Don Hinkle]

I have one account on another ISP that's getting an inordinate amount 
of spam.
Somehow, I must have without meaning to, clicked on and opened a bad 
can of spam and that signaled the rest.
Anyway, I like the name, but I'm thinking of subtly altering it.
For instance, this address is donhinkle at mac.com.
I could change it to don_hinkle...or, I'm thinking of a trick I saw a 
guy use as a password, where he interposed a non-ASCII character, like 
OPT+SHFT+8 or °.
That would seem to be harder for an automatic address generator to come 
up with?
And maybe harder to grab? Or am I kidding myself?

Advice, please, from those who know this kind of thing?
thanks,

-don hinkle
