Good evening, everyone. I wanted to let you know of three changes I've made to the message forum in the interest of user privacy, security, and anti-spam efforts.

1. When posting a message to the forum, you must provide an email address. Please provide your real email address. Messages posted with invalid email addresses will be deleted.

2. Only registered users will be able to see the email addresses of users who have posted to the forum. This will prevent spam spiders from harvesting our email addresses.

3. If you do not want other registered users to see your email address, you may check the box "Don't Publish Email Address" when posting a message. You must still provide your email address, but this information will be restricted to the site webmaster and forum moderator. No-one else, not even registered users, will be able to see your email address.

These changes have been implemented in the interest of site security as well as our effort to help you all reduce the amount of spam in your inbox by not making your email address available to spam spiders that scan the web for email addresses.
