You either
  1. Have an email address that contains something that commonly gets filtered (spammers tend to avoid some groups of addresses in order to try and avoid spam traps).
  2. Never give your email address to anyone.
  3. Have discovered that nobody loves you (or hates you for that matter).
  4. Have been lucky. Don't jinx it.

I never seem to get any junk mail and I've had the same email address since hotmail.co.uk was introduced.
i'm in the same boat. day .co.uk was launched. use this address for pretty much all the forums i use, and it's down publicly as my contact address quite a few places. i maybe get 1 a month.
