Adam, if I read you aright, a poster's ability to provide an email address with his/her post is about to be removed. It seems to me that the simple option to provide an address was already sufficient protection. Simply, if one were worried about address-harvesting, then you didn't add your email address to your post. (Many did not.) Therefore I think the removal of that option is not only unnecessary, but unhelpful overkill.
I myself am very glad that I used Dave Thewlis' posted email address this very day to update my Contacts list before his option to post his address was removed....
