I will echo everything Jack and Ian said, so I won't repeat a lot of it. I would like to thank Virginia for at least making an attempt to explain what is happening, rather than just deleting the posts, or locking the thread. That in itself is an improvement. I do think that it wold be wise to remember that it i the people that make the site, and not the site that makes the people, so to speak.

As with Jack, I will follow the rules, but I do not agree with them. It really believe that PMs would be perfect compromise in this situation, as there would be no personal information publicly available, and the only communication would be chosen to be accepted by the recipient, and it would be from a known source. Oh, I do have to confess, that I will not be destroying the email addresses I already know, so I am an outlaw, I guess.
