I just noticed that for those of us who use MSN Messenger, our e-mail address appears on the profile page. Googling my e-mail address, I noticed that my profile page showed up in the results, and that worried me. Does anyone know if it would be possible for a spider that collects e-mail addresses for spam lists to find that?
SPAM spiders can find them. Some, I guess. The only way is to remove the address from normal view. Maybe Brandon could make them visible to only logged-in users. Also, spam bots have begun to pick up using the "xxx AT xxx DOT com" format.. If you ever have to write out your email address, I recommend using something like xxx@_spam_isp.com.
