Um...

To be serious...

Don't go into chat rooms and take your SN off of message boards (like this one).... People harvest them from both places.

If you wouldn't put your email address somewhere think if you shouldn't put your SN there also.

Agreed. But it's not people. It's bots and scripts that scour the internet searching for screen names and emails, similar to the way a search engine indexes the internet.
