It isn't a good idea to include your email address in public forum posts. Spammers pick these up automatically and will fill your inbox with even more rubbish!

You still need to provide your email address to register in these forums, but this info. will be kept out of the public domain, and totally safe from spammers (in fact, making sure that people register with real email addresses is designed to avoid spammers posting in the forums).
Thanks,
Ben

So you're saying that I shouldn't put billgates@microsoft.com in any forum post?

We've been down the biblical references for Microsoft route already, and if Adam had not been a plug and play device then the Apple would never have been developed......

those email addresses won't work for much longer anyway now that Bill has announced that he is leaving to spend more time with his charity work http://uk.news.yahoo.com/16062006/356/computer-giant-step.html

Slagging off Microsoft so much, I take it you're all open to and using alternatives when possible? :)

(I highly recommend Ubuntu 6.06 LTS from www.ubuntu.com )
