Another frequent question that is often asked by people looking at web stats is Can I not get their email address? and the answer to that one is a resounding no! Can you imagine the chaos that would create if everywhere we went, our email address would be left? Security and Privacy nightmare.

But that doesn't stop you from asking for it.

The question you have to ask yourself is this: What is the business proposition in allowing my email address to be known to this site? You do not want to give up your email address if all it means is spam or unwanted email. You want to be kept informed of the latest and greatest news about the site in question.
