No need to forge the Email address. I am talking about having items like
your full name, address, home and cell phone in a message posted online. 
It doesn't take much more info for a person to become an identity theft
victim.
  Also it is easy to alter an address so that a person replying to you
directly only needs to change one item in your address. Yes it means they
have to take that step but it also means that a spammer gets a junk address.

Take a look at this reply and you will see that I changed the reply to
address.
