Do You Give Your Real Email When Leaving a Comment In a Blog?
I usually do. But sometimes I wondered if such ‘openness’ could be abused by certain blog owners who may harvest commentators’ emails and sell them to spammers.

No I don’t leave my real email but depending on which site …
I usually on give away my email address (for plain viewing) when I either trust the website/blog or they have a clear No Spamming policy.

More importantly, I want to check off which articles to include in the mailout. Email fatigue sets in quickly and blasting off every single post is a sure fire way to keep your churn rate high.
