Fun facts:
In the Middle Ages, the monks were today's Internet. They published vast amounts of data and probably did not know what it was good for. Today, we can appreciate the value of their work.
The monk's translations and transcriptions were hard work, and the hard-working monks had to deal with a unique set of problems. Bookbinders used to join together the wrong pages, for example. To prevent this, 'writers' repeated the last line on the new page.

Since the texts were so long the writers tried to abbreviate even such a small (but common) word as "ad". "ad" is Latin and means "at".
'@' seems like a logical abbreviation when you know that medieval fonts had a 'd' character that looked much like a mirrored 6.
From Monks to MerchantsIn the 15th century, '@' appeared again. Spanish merchants used it -- as an abbreviation. The weight measure "arroba" (about 11.52 kg or 25.40 lb.) was soon replaced by the more handy @. This measurement was used for bulls and wine, by the way.

Supporting the theory that one form of communication never replaces but only compliments another, a special code for the '@' character was introduced in the Morse code in 2004.
Tips and hints:
The Centre for Technology and Democracy has tried to determine the things that get you spammed the most. Their report seems to indicate posting your email address up on public websites is the worst thing you can do, but there are lots of other ways spammers can get at you. Also, they found that contrary to popular believe unsubscribing to a spammer's email does not seem to increase your likelihood of receiving further spam.
There are lots more useful details in the report but if you don't want to read the whole thing, the BBC offers a quick summary.
