 > , I thought more about helping the "unaware masses"

 I'd just like to point out, that anything that !WordPress (or any other
 major application) did to obfuscate email addresses and to prevent spam,
 those harvesting the details would simply adapt to the obfuscation method
 in use. If there was a plugin installed on every !WordPress site which
 added it by default, it's be absolutely useless.
