AFAIK the spammers have scanners that search through these sites for email adresses automaticly. I guess if they collect enough they can sell them to advertizing companies or something. Get a free junkmail account at yahoo or hotmail and use it for places like this, should something happen you can always replace it in two minutes. Only give your true adress to a select few. I trust the majority of people here, but there is always the occasional troll. -S.
