E-mail Privacy
-
On the World Wide Web there is no such thing as privacy.
It does not exist..If you want to know who comments on your blog, afford that same facility to others.
If you are that concerned about your email address, do not comment anywhere. You do know you are less likely to get spammed or otherwise by commenting here than giving your email address to your bank or any other so called ‘official’ organisation?
Can I suggest that this issue is put in proportion?
It’s an email address. That’s all. -
Is there any technical reason why it can’t be made clear, either upon signup or in the FAQ, that if you comment whilst signed in your email address will be made visible to the blog author(s)?
This isn’t a problem for me as since SSL came in I can’t stay logged in anyway, so nine times out of ten I’m commenting while logged out, and if people want me to log in to comment, nine times out of ten I can’t be bothered ;) But many of us will have signed up with a personal email address (seeing as how Automattic promised to keep it to themselves and not spam us) and will be disconcerted to find that it’s being passed on to fellow bloggers.

It’s been discussed, it’s in the faq and I’ll pass it on as I said.
