## Why this email address?
I use [inbox.lv](https://www.inbox.lv/) because when I created this website I wanted an email dedicated to it and not use my personnal protonmail address. I put this email address directly on the main page of my website so it's doomed to receive spam from so called "web designers" and all that because of their crawlers.<br/>
Sure instead of directly writing the mailto link I could have put sam(dot)hadow(at)inbox(dot)lv. But it just stops the very basic crawlers, the RegEx in the crwler just needs to be modified a bit to also spot these email addresses. The only "good" solution against spam would be to have a captcha. But this solution would require having a service running on my server just for the captcha and possibly require the clients to run JavaScript. So I prefered not to have a captcha for the mail. <br/>
