Confluence's Captcha was (/is) pretty crappy, and did not prevent robots 
from signing up, just from posting. So the database eventually filled 
up, and by the time we noticed it had become a pretty big task to clean 
it up.  I'm pretty sure a bunch of lame profiles would not cause McAfee 
to react.


... but after googling for my own email address, what I now think is 
happening is this:

If you sign up with a new account, you have the option of using the 
email address as your username. In the latter case, your profile URL 
looks like this[1].

But either way, the default profile lists your email address for all to 
see [2]. It looks like the only alternative is to create a "personal 
space". The default homepage will again be ornamented with your email 
address, but you can then edit that page and remove it.

Confluence is Awesome.
