I do it purposely. Go read:

http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/

and read through the (flash) bits. Now consider "are email addresses
information which can be used to identify individuals?" The answer is
"yes". Are we storing that in a kind of database? Yes. Therefore,
does this fall under the terms of the Data Protection Act? Yes.

Therefore I myself do not want to store peoples email addresses BK,
thereby avoiding this issue entirely.
