email databases are pretty much traded furiously like CDS, the only comfort in fixing this is making sure that these records are out of 'casual abuse'

there is no stopping a twisted spammer mind

ps:as long as Google double up their spamguard dev't as well

You would think they would just make them private as the default. Oh well.

This made me laugh anyway, vote for which presidential nominee you want to boot off the plank - McCain or Obama

Reading the article you will fine that they are private by default.

User are just as much responsible for their data as the company that hosting it, if the user disable the privacy then it their fault.

May be google should remove all the options and not allow any private data to be display public. I sure their will still be people complaining.

But then gmail is fairly descent at blocking spam anyway so I do not care let my email run wild.
