Isn't the Ark of the Covenant also there? In the interest of adding some actual content as well, I'll remark that I really don't much care whether addresses are collected or not. For my own part, I'm with the others who've observed that trying to hide your address as a counter-spam measure is about as effective as sticking your fingers in your ears and saying la-la-la. And for that matter, those who think otherwise can easily use a disposable email address if they wish (surely they must have one if they care about such things) or even falsify or omit their email address (horrors!).
