Measurer info to be on map?

I'm doing my first cal course and half marathon measurement now, so I've had my head in the manual for two weeks. In appendix I (India), page 67, item three, it states  that you need the measurer's name, email, and / or phone number on the primary course map page.

The "new" map requirements (now in place since 2020) state that the map should have the measurer's name and contact info.  The map requirements appear on the rrtc.net webpage and are part of the updated Course Measurement Manual.  Please check out rrtc.net for the latest information (thanks to Mark Neal for his diligence in keeping it up-to-date).  The map requirements were developed to make our maps more consistent and easier to find all of the important information in one place. 

We already place the contact info on the certificate. Justin has never returned a submission to me for lacking contact info on the map. I guess I will start including my email address in a format that prevents Internet bots and scrapers from picking it up for malspam purposes: lyman at race resources dot net. Sound OK, Mark?

It's not for me to decide if that's okay.

But the certificate and the map are PDF files or image files,  and I don't think bots can grab your email address from those types of files.

If you share this application form with "Anyone with the link" then they could get it from that. But if you share it only with specific people who need to see it instead, the bots won't be able to see it.

Actually, I know for a fact that bots and scrapers can and do pick up up email addresses from anything that appears online except for sites that take exceptional steps to prevent this - like referenceusa.com for instance. If you've ever wondered how a particular spammer obtains your email address, this is a likely method. I don't know about you, but I still get 2 or 3 spam messages - increasingly, malspam messages - every day, despite taking every possible measure to screen them out. I would counsel against including email addresses in a clickable format on maps for this reason.
