I have no interest in corresponding with fellow bug commenters in private email, I only wish to discuss a bug in the bug comments itself, not in private email. The fact that my comments arrive in other people's mail boxes with my full name and email address in them looking for all the world like I typed them in and emailed them out myself (unless one checks the headers) encourages people to mail me privately in response to the mail they think I sent them.
