BAD SPAM ARMOR... BAD!

Now go BACK to hell! ...holyhell.net that is.

Please disregard the "SPAM ARMOR" post about how to hide your email address... Verify the lackluster of its written form by a TRUE javascript writer -BachusII- who makes his point very clear here.

In defense of my proto-spam-armor, this first version of which was designed for those who lack the knowledge or ability to use a better system, it has no true flaws!

1.) It doesn't "pollute" the global namespace. Had I not simply placed alphaLower and alphaCaps into the scope of the function, the variables would have been instantiated on each call of the function. Anyone with a further complaint could simply (OMG) move the variable declarations into the function body. Problem solved. I'm a static variable addict- oh well.

2.) I can't think of any non-image spam armoring that allows users to get by without JavaScript enabled. There aren't many web surfers nowadays who have browsers lacking the capability to run the script. Kindly inform them of the problem via a noscript tag.

3.) I tripple the size of the source... So? Bandwidth is cheap. Plain-text is small. And I *did* run a couple of tests with this. The page sometimes becomes smaller from a data transfer perspective, provided you have zlib enabled. The code created can be more or equally compressable to the original. Those worried about storage space could always do this on-the-fly.

Also, there's no reason to do anything by hand with this anymore: http://www.holyhell.net/spam-armor-codec.html

Out of curiosity, how did you stumble on my script?
