Plus, once you hide your Team, the Team is hidden for all Team Members, not just you individually.

Q: Can I Include My Personal E-Mail Address As Part of My E-Mail To Another Team?
A: Yes, but you do not have to do so. Sometimes people prefer not to correspond with personal emails until they feel comfortable, so we would caution you on this.
