Google, Please Stop Giving Away My Email Address

Google my email address, and one of the top hits is, oddly, a single minor recurring event from my Google Calendar. At the top of the publicly accessible page is my email address, non-obscured and completely machine-readable. I have no idea how to get rid of it except for making my entire calendar private, which would make me sad because I believe in openness when it comes to trivial data.

Actually, when I click on that link, it shows me your phone bill reminder with my gmail address at the top. Good times!

Oh that's very odd indeed. "You got your email address on my calendar!" "You got your calendar on my email address!"
