I use my real email, always have. About 20 spam messages a day get
through the minimal filters I have. It took a big jump some time ago,
but seems to have stabilized. Maybe 20% are from Korea. Some from
Taiwan get automatically nuked because of the way they are addressed.
I do a fair bit of business with Asia, but not with Korea (Korean
suppliers tend to have that rare combination of arrogance and poor
quality that makes them less than desirable). Some Asian suppliers,
once they get your business card seem to think it's nice to e-mail you
every 3 days until you place an order.
