Use of email addresses
Your email address is safe with me. I won’t give it to anyone: no spam, no advertising, no hassle.
I won’t hassle you with news about this site. I won’t use your email for promoting my site or sending you advertising.
As a measure of my good faith, notice that I’ve given my email address on my contact page. I’m not going to abuse your email, and I trust you won’t abuse mine. Admittedly I haven’t given my personal email address, but nevertheless it would be annoying to keep replacing it.
