why you are so impolite?
citing on the net your email address without your permission is not nice
that's why i always thought maillists to be, not only a paleolithic
fossil from the past that should be eradicated, but also a really bad thing
thank God, i am not the only one, since the majority of forums nowadays
are web-based
just use a username and hide your address!
Well, *you* are publishing your email address.
Note however that many of those archives implement measures to make
harder harvesting of email addresses, such as requiring filling a
captcha before displaying it.
Also, you have your email client (thunderbird) configured for showing as
your name your email address. Not exactly the best for hiding your
email, as it becomes the only identifier to refer to you.
Interestingly, the archive you complained about, nabble, allows posting
to the mailing list from their website. Thus making mor elike forums.
