Theres got to be a few doing it, I have a few emails and my submission one gets the most spam out of them all.

You could find out who's doing it if you have a catch all account, submit to every link list with a different email username then match them up later with the spam.
I'm sure people here would let you off for the "use the same email address" rule to run this test once...

last time this was brought up, wasn't it mentioned that some, or at least one semi-popular LL script list the submitters email on the link detail page?
....which would make your email very easy for spammers to find...
