I'd assumed the email address I entered on my profile was public. It was only on logging out to check just now I realised it wasn't. Perhaps I'm not alone. I've now copied it into the free text as well.

E-mail address in profile is a big secret for me also :) This is probably question for PG.

Yeah. I'd like that. A remailer service is ideal and mind numbingly simple. If there is a email spam problem I'm sure PG will think up a solution.
