When I used to include my e-mail address on PB I never got SPAM. I did get (and still do occasionally) some e-mails from people I don't know, asking questions about drugs. I assume that these are people who have found some of my past answers through search engines (including the one on this site).
I do make it a policy not to answer these e-mails; more out of a possible liabilty issue, rather than not wanting to help someone. If I am going to answer a question, I'd rather the question be posted on PB, so that if I make a mistake in my answer it will more than likely be caught by someone here. I like to think of it as a safety issue.
Again, I have never received SPAM from posting my e-mail address on this site and now that I said that, I hope that I won't in the future. - Cam
