    do you have an example? Or you sure you didn’t agree to some T&C at some point? I doubt those folks would do that – they are pretty dedicated to their product line…

    As far as I can tell there is no way to opt in our out, in addition, there is no option to remove the account.

    As Gary requested, can you point us to a link or something? I took a quick look at the site and didn’t see any obvious public posting of email addresses. The user reviews, for instance, just have the user’s initials.

    Have you contacted them about it? What did they say?

    If you google your own email it comes up in the results. The actual page it is listed in is the popular users page. I have sent an email to the webmaster, I hope this gets resolved. I feel like since any time after the mid 90’s it is basic etiquette to not publicize users emails on the web.
