not really, its just an e-mail i guess. at most they could find out your full name :s or find your myspace or something which would have more information about you..although, its all up to you. if you don’t feel comfortable giving someone you don’t know your email, don’t.
The only thing that they could do is send you harassing messages or spam, or they could give your email address to other spammers. Yahoo have a great service called Address Guard which allows you to give out “disposable” email addresses. They’re temporary addresses that link to your actual email, but the person you give them to never actually sees your proper email. If you decide you don’t want any messages from them, you simply delete the temporary address.
