Wow, this is surprising, considering the number of anti-spam petitions
they have hosted.

Then again, nothing is surprising on the net these days.

I googled for corroborating evidence of email address harvesting at
petitiononline and I couldn't find any other people complaining.  Has
anyone else heard bad things about them?

They certainly appear to be making an effort to prevent email harvesting
by others.
