Wouldn't he then have his email displayed on that bugzilla?

Thanks but sadly that's not really much of a solution - I don't want my email address shown to anyone, logged in or not. Can you imagine if facebook only showed your email address to logged in users? Would that be OK?

I can see everybody elses email addresses when logged in. Surely that tells me all I need to know. Email addresses are visable when logged in unless I'm missing something.

Er - How does that help me? That makes my own situation worse doesn't it? I'm pissed off that it's showing my email address and the solution is to do it again. (And in fact it's not a solution - all it does it logs my complaint - there's no resolution promised).

How? I can't find any way to disable an account. Am I missing something?

Even if you add a username to your account your email address is still displayed in the CC list as well as every who has posted to the bug
Had i know of this i would have never reported a bug

how hard is it to get a new email account?

does changing email update the new address to every comment etc written before?

I'm not understanding the complaint.

- I get no spam at all due to this;
- I don't care if others in the ecosystem see my email

???

But some people do care. People like the OP (and a lot of my close friends) like to preserve their privacy rights. Not everyone is on facebook blasting their information to the world

There has to be a way to follow up on bug reports and comments, thus the email requirement and why anonymous reports are not accepted. I'd really be interested to know why this is an issue.
