But that is the point of a directory listing of people - people who enter their info want to be found and contacted.
If you don't want to be contacted, then don't add your information. I'm not sure what you're suggesting is the problem, but perhaps you can suggest a solution?
You obfuscate your email addr so that it's human-readable and not spam-bot readable. Or just add your twitter username instead, or whatever choice you prefer.

I wonder how the producers of the content (the people entering their information on the spreadsheet) would feel about that. Well there you go, as suggested above.. you can always logout first - or create a dummy account. Google sign-in is arguably one of the commonly used on the Web, even if you're really anti-Google .. having a dummy account would be real handy. Excess paranoia, on the other hand, is another topic.
