Of course it is! How on earth are people to be able to communicate
with one another if their email addresses are hidden?

I profess profound distaste for the practice of concealing, mangling,
and distorting email addresses.  I myself have had an email address on
my userpage for well over a year and can count the amount of spam that
has gotten though on the fingers of one hand, so there's no excuse.
