And, while YOU can see your whole email address on the members list, no one else can.
That helps, tho isn't great, because they can see the first letter of the address, so it is usually not too hard to figure out (a=aol, y=yahoo, h=hotmail, altho apparently hotmail people are having problems getting into the yahoogroups system, etc etc.)
But if you really don't want your real email showing, register for a yahoo address. And since yahoo asks a bunch of info, what I do is get "loose" with the accuracy of my data, if you know what I mean.
