Send to a Friend

Why do people put their email addresses in their email signatures?
I know a lot of people whose email signatures go like:
John Smith
(Position), (Organisation)
123–456-7890 (cell)
098–765-4321 (work)
john@xyz.com
Why do people include their email address? Since the message is being sent from their email, doesn’t that mean the recipient already has a record of their email address, and knows how to reach the sender by email?
