Someone more techno than me might be able to advise on this? If you type any user name into Google you get the supplied user email address showing up. i.e. type in - 'christep', 'warrenlm', 'ozstamps' etc, etc.

OK, no big deal as those addresses do show up here if someone looks. But that is a very slow way to "harvest" them. Maybe someone has been able to type a search string into Google like "all users At Flyertalk" or whatever, and get a huge list being thus generated that could be used to spam??

My thought is that this thread is more correctly in 'OMNI', but probably warrants 'Community' due to its general concern to most here I guess.
