It certainly can.  Archives are meant to be helpful and allow people
to see WHAT was being talked about and WHO was saying it.

I've often mailed people from a thread that happened 2 years ago to
find out if they ever had particular results and I'm still getting
email regarding projects that I might have appeared on a mailing list
for a 1 week stint.

I hate spam and there are times when I think my 30mb of bayesian
classifications + spam assassin to deal with spam is not sufficient
but people can still interact with me.  

It's a crappy problem to deal with but hiding isn't going to solve the
problem.
