E-mail addresses in publications

[Shaun D. Black]

Dear Methods-BioNetters,
     I have had a curious experience recently with a publication.  E-mail 
addresses were included in my methods section pertinent to some software 
suppliers.  The publishers took out all of the e-mail addresses and only 
after 'coercion' was I able to get only two of them back in.  Has any one else 
had this problem?  If so, is there any consensus as to whether or not 
inclusion of e-mail addresses in publications (especially relative to 
methods) is appropriate/inappropriate?  Thanks.  -Shaun
