Okay, I see. What I think has happened is that your email address was harvested, so adding (TM) won't stop that. I tend to not use my email address on sites unless formatted using spaces and the word 'at' in place of the @ and the word 'dot' for the period before com/net, etc (EX: you at offsiteofficepro dot com [most actual humans know this is your email, but they need to format it correctly if contacting you]). It's more work, but I use a php CAPTCHA form that takes care of harvesting of emails on my sites (I put a 'contact' or 'contact me' link that goes to the form).

Irritating, isn't it? Sheesh.
