POSTING YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS: When you make your e-mail address visible to the world by publishing it on any web page — including this one — you increase the likhelihood of your address being located and misused by spammers.

So: include your e-mail only when you want other users of almonte.com to respond to you directly. There's nothing I can do to prevent this “harvesting” of addresses from web sites; it is simply a fact of life on today's Internet. Sad but true.
