Although I have my e-mail address listed directly in my profile, I actually enjoy having the e-mail function disabled. One reason is that I've received so many e-mails that have been sent to trash by filters that I often receive complaints of non-received e-mails (especially when trading in the CC). At least with PMing, I can rest easy knowing that the PM is sitting in the user's box waiting to be read and can see with the new read receipt function (thanks Dan ^) which PMs have been read. IMHO, it's a much more cleaner process.
It also seems I've received less SPAM to my Hotmail account since the vBulletin software has been up (even with my e-mail address directly listed in my profile).
