Isn't displaying developers' addresses so blatantly a violation of developer privacy ?
This may be legal but it seems pretty intrusive, like a rectal probe feels pretty intrusive. I thought Google's motto was: "don't be evil". I'm not sure this policy of blatantly displaying developer addresses, with no regard for their personal privacy, complies with Google's motto.
