This guy openly states that he's using GMail, and assumes that because he doesn't get much spam that everyone else won't either. I've worked with proprietary products like Barracudas, and similar open source systems like MailScanner, and none of them have been as good at stopping spam and allowing legitimate messages as GMail. So extrapolating out his sample size of one to the entire internet is a bit of a stretch. Further, he assumes that people running these scanners are doing regex type stuff to get these variations, when it's more likely that 99% of e-mail harvesters won't bother. Spending the time to get those few amount of e-mails would not be worth the time, not to mention, the people that try to obscure their e-mail are probably the least likely people to buy viagra from some unsolicited e-mail.
