When I Google search this group and look at my posts, I can't see any way to find my email address from my posts. Similarly, Google tech support tell me my address is not publically viewable.

Googles tech support seems not to be right. It's true, that I can't
see your email address by using Googles web interface. However
normally I use (as many other people do) a newsreader client, which is
downloading the messages from a news server. (News groups are no
invention by Google. Google sends your messages to the other News
server on this world by the Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) [see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NNTP], so that everybody can read it.)
And the header of your messages does contain your full email address.
(If you like to see it, I can sent you the header of your message by
mail.)

I think, it is okay, that the message headers contain the email
addresses of the sender. At least this is the standard. My solution to
prevent spam, is to use a special email address for news groups, so
that my email program puts the mails with this email address directly
and quietly into the spam folder. From time to time I take a look into
the folder to see, if there is something, which I should read.

Cheers, Heinz
