Good point. I have my own domain so every time I sign up to a site, I use the name of the site @ mydomain as my e-mail address. This helps me track which sites share my e-mail address when I start receiving spam. When I signed up here, I used nthellworld@<mydomain> as my e-mail address. When I received the paypal e-mail this morning, it was addressed to nthellword@<mydomain>
Has somebody managed to get hold of the nthellworld user database? I have checked my public profile and my e-mail address isn't shown there. Likewise it isn't shown in my posts.
It seems very unlikely that somebody would have guessed the above address!
