As far as I know your mail address should only be visible to moderators and admins not for normal users or unregistered visitors.
Can you see the mail addresses of other users?
I forwarded this to the admins.
btw you address is not validated jet
You created your account as your email address, this has made it "searchable" when looking for your posts or replying to them. It is best to just use a username that is not an email address, then it can't happen. With the popularity of the site increasing, many spammers are trying to take advantage.
I've changed your visible username to PeterM. This will change in all your past/future posts. If you'd like something else, please say here and use the @ convention to let me know.
But it won't stop your email being searchable, sorry. If you change your email address, that should complete the job.
