I need to agree with you on this one HairDog. User profiles clearly provide a means of communicating an email address as well as a homepage and several different IM methods. Why restrict posting an email address directly in a post? It doesn't make sense. It is only an alternate method of communicating with each other.
I also interpret the "other personal information" as information with which you could physically locate me. My home address, job information, etc. I don't need anyone getting angry at some of my misguided advice and trying to come to look for me.
