Don't forget that it's a dynamic system. As more of the low-hanging fruit emails get picked by spam email harvesters, then there is more value in the harder to decode emails since they haven't been spammed. There is a tipping point where it would be "worth it" for someone to start to decode the harder other types of obfuscated emails.

Which of these two internet users is more likely to buy your replica rolex: danny@aol.com, or AOL: danny (or danny at aol, or danny+don'tspamme at teh a oh l's dot com)? My point is that users smart enough to disguise their emails from spammers are more likely to be wary of their wares.
