Title: OK---Whats the Deal with the hidden e-mail Address
Post by sailpappy on Jan 20^th, 2007, 4:49pm

;;D ;;D This use to be a fairly open Forum, why is it that 9 out of 10 new people here hide their E-Mail addresses from the Board Members.
Seems sort of rude to me! But I guess I am just that kind of person?? Pappy

I liked the old days when we all could see the IP address of the poster, kept ya honest me thinks, Aaarrrrrrrggggggg

8 hits today so far. Life is a Dream!. "Brokens dream"

I think some hide their email addys in case a spammer visits a site to collect email addys.

If you're looking for someone's in particular, just PM them for it. ;)

Peace,

Carl's hit it on the head. I like to keep my inbasket spam-free. Lots of data miners out there scrape websites for e-mail addresses.

Don't take it personal, Pappy! I'll send you my e-mail address - just send me a PM requesting it.

Sorry to hear you are getting slammed Bud ,but what else is new. Pretty sure you have my email. I have been collecting them so that I can send e-cards but still am missing way too many. I generally PMed each person and asked for it.

Best wishes Bro and hang tough......you know where to find me if you need..................Tim

I never minded my e-mail listed for years but the only ones who ever used it were trolls that liked to do their best off the board.
I still get e-mail once in awhile from only one nice person though. ;)

Hotmail automatically blocks spam so I'm quite happy having my addy listed, I rarely get spam and when I do it normally turns out to be "normal" emails anyway.
For me, its worth having my email addy listed anyway just for the amount of people who have contacted me without joining the site to ask questions or for help. I almost pity any spammer who'd try me for size anyway ;;D

Helen kept sending me sex pics.

I have to admit she looked good with those 12 midgets though!

I guess it's just a time management issue for me. I hate wasting time cleaning shit out of my inbox. I could watch paint dry and feel like I was accomplishing more.

My email has always been there, I get tons of emails wanting to know about 02.

I hardly get any spam.

That's because the data miners have no use for you. ;;D
