Name and shame - Android Developer's Conference sells me out

A couple years ago, I attended the Android Developer's Conference (Andevcon). Ever since then, my inbox has been flooded with email sent to the tagged address I gave them. Most of that email was in some way related to Android development, so I let it slide.

But this morning, I got spam advertising quickie loans to that tagged address, so we know that Andevcon shared my email with spammers.
