I'd imagine your average spam list purchaser removes the + stuff on Gmail addresses.

Sure, if you never gave any friends/family the non-+ version.

And all websites accepted emails with "+" in them (hint: your email validation regex sucks and is not standard compliant).

If a site has broken email validation and I absolutely positively NEED to use it, then I'll grudgingly create an explicit alias just for that site. Otherwise, I find a competitor that doesn't screw this up. In both cases, I end up passively-aggressively tweeting about the company's email validation, though.
