That's a good strategy for advanced email users. But only small minority of email users belong to that camp.

What would you do with the information about who sold your email address?

The best defense against spam is spam flag button. It can be successfully used on your single gmail account.

Seeing which email addresses leak is just an interesting reflection on the company. For example, the supposedly non-visible address I gave to facebook gets spam.
