I'm not sure what tools you are using to do this.  One of the ways I have 
done this is the past is to change the "@" in all the email addresses to " 
at ".  When someone wants to use the address, it is pretty easy to change back.

Spammers use programs that scour the net and harvest all the addresses 
found.  It is only a matter of time before the Tesla archives are hit.
