In this answer Russell publishes his e-mail address because in his profile it is invisible to others than himself. How about making it an option to show or hide this e-mail address?

I'm not for publishing an e-mail address in a question or answer. I think the full discussion may be interesting to others to, and therefore should take place on the site.

Why do I always get to play the badguy!? "Kortuk will remove it," what about kevin and mark! Spread the hate. – Kortuk♦ Oct 30 '11 at 11:45
@Kortuk - LOL! Well, I had to name someone with more authority than I have in this. I really wouldn't know how I got to your name :-) – stevenvh Oct 30 '11 at 12:00
Agreed, there should be a straightforward and obvious way to share your email address with fellow participants here. It's entirely reasonable for some exchanges to eventually reach a point where it makes sense for the participants to take it "offline." – mindcrime Dec 7 '11 at 19:05

If you want to tell the world your email address, you can do it in the comments section of your profile. You can ramble on quite a bit about yourself apparently, and it's available for other members to see. What's the problem?

If there's too much of that rambling the e-mail address may be hard to spot. A fixed location may then be handy. – stevenvh Oct 31 '11 at 7:37

@stevenvh: Or don't ramble so much. – Olin Lathrop Oct 31 '11 at 13:27
