I am a bit shocked that someone agrees with the practice, but I guess I will explain:

Many individual webmasters do ot have a seperate office and that would mean that they would be forced to use their own home address. Considering the industry, spam and such, and that if they have kids, I could see where this could become problematic. More so if you hide the adult nature of your business (which many do) from others.

Besides, it is good to seperate business and personal mail entirely at the source. On the legitmacy of PO BOXes being used, I can say that many of my banks and credit card companies use them for contact and payment addresses.
