What are you talking about? Providing specific facts helps to provide some context to your question and thus the resulting answer(s) might be more relevant.

What company has sold your email address to another company and what evidence do you have that this is so?

Not sure of your point with this thread, but be assured that no-one with access to your e-mail address, whether through product purchase/registration or through registering/joining this site will on-sell or in any way communicate your address to any third party.

We police personal attack/abuse in any/every form, as we respect the community that this site has generated.

A company with a Commercial stake in the success/reputation/viability of a site as large and popular as this is not going to shoot itself in the foot by unlawful/illegal practise.

Legally, Companies cannot 'tell you to pay for something', but they can engage a criminal/legal/justice system to 'tell you to pay'.....or they can just deny you access to their product/service for non-payment...

No one is interested in your email address, Malikai.

And no one around here is telling you you have to buy anything.

Malikai: If you don't want spam, don't post your addy.

If you leave it visible at *any* site, you are gonna get spam, for the same reason Google finds yer pr0n fer ya. I'm sure this isn't the only site you are registered to.

A piss-poor programmer can write a script to glean user e-mail addresses if he has a reasonable familiarity with how a site works. Your name is a link, the link leads to your user page, and the email is in the same spot every time.

You want spam? Go register a domain or two with your email addy.
