Anyone know how Craigslist works?

Craigslist postings have an alphanumeric @craigslist.org email address at the top. I assume this is so you don't have to post your personal email address.

So suppose I post something on Craigslist, someone emails me at the @craigslist address, and for whatever reason I don't want to respond to them. Do they know what my real email address is? Or does my real email address stay absolutely unconditionally secret until I choose to respond to someone's email?

Your real address stays secret from them until you respond.
