email security at AnandTech

[Joenoname]

Hello all,

I am new. Please help me get up to speed.

I did already look in the FAQ; noluck on this.

Here's my concern. Does the owner/operator of this forum (AnanTech and/or Mushkin) have any promise in effect to a member that the email address will be kept only between AnandTech & the member, never sold, rented, for any solicitation or SPAM?
I DO know enough to keep my forum setting on "email hidden".
My Hotmail address is banned, but I only use that as a throwaway for risky stuff that may reveal my email addy to spambot, etc..

Frankly, I'd prefer my real name (first only) and actual, home email instead of a free-webmail, but do not trust the forum (yet) for that.

Can anyone provide details or a link on this, please? Thanks.
