audiorevolution is probably not responsible for the spam.

when you post on bulletin boards with your e-mail address openly accesible (as on these posts), you're going to get spam. people have developed pretty sophisticated programs that comb bulletin boards for e-mail addresses.

hitting "remove" on spam only worsens the situation - you get flagged as somone who actually looked at the e-mail, and your e-mail address just gets recycled.
