An email address is treated as data that is already in the public domain. However, as you are aware of spam bots that harvest email addresses, formatting the address to hide it from the bots while leaving it readable for people is always a good idea.

Because if a commenter posted it, it's not your own content and therefore not your responsibility. All comments posted are the opinion of the authors and so on bladi bladi :) Oops lol

I conceded to quite a few demands, EXCEPT for Dunstone's e-mail address. I think it's in the public interest to know, which cooperates with the DPA (as far as I'm aware.) I'm guessing this is from Mr. F or Mr. S. They'll hassle you once a week at the very least. I did find out that prosecuting under the DPA is actually just filing a complaint with the controller. They then look at the info and make a judgement. I also found out there's no precedent for this, completely new territory so it's iffy as to whether they would even win. They tried the same on me.
