Absolutely right.
If I see an email addy in the room, the room will be cleared without warning. Very annoying if you've just got a message aimed for you. Then I will check out if the person who posted it in the room has done this before and then deal with them accordingly.

As for my personal view, I'd only ever, ever, ever give my MSN address out to people I've talked to for a long time and feel I can trust........ and I've still been stung and had to block people.
Just be honest with folks and maybe ask them why they want your MSN address when they can PM/chat to you through the site. That way if they do start to become a nuisance at least there's someone you can turn to (ie site admin) for some help.

yep, same here. I've added ppl to msn b4 who I've not got to know first and had to block them. But then, you get asked if u have msn. My reply would be something along the lines of "Yes we do have msn but I dont like to give it out willy-nilly. I like to get to know ppl b4 I add them. Plus we hardly ever use it anyway". Then they go off in a huff
I give in, sometimes to avoid this I occasionally say "No, we dont have msn" just to avoid the strops
