I've noticed when people post their email address on their sites they sometimes spell it out and do not provide a link.
I was wondering why this is done? I would assume to crack down on spam emails, but does it really help?

It works and it is to reduce spam. Bots scrub the html looking for recognizable email addresses.
You can make it a clickable link though. I use a javascript to hide my email address in the html code and then make the mailto link something that can't be scrubbed (user[a]domain.com).
