Tim wrote in respect of e-mail addresses being put into public domain by the
person (original issue was computer misuse):
"I think the data subject is dislosing their details by
posting the email, rather than the data controller by assigning an email
address. There is the analogy of the snail mail address: anyone can look up
where Fuji Bank is located, for instance: I don't accuse my data controller
in this instance of disclosing my details, even though my business address
is easily obtained by virtue of my employment."
I disagree. The first difference is that with snail mail you can choose
whether you are addressed by your name or your job title. Secondly, it
doesn't get sent out to the whole world.
