As long as you all are talking about contact info, I'll take this opportunity to remind you of a few things WRT this forum. First, any contact info you have in your profile is visible only to members who are logged in...that means "spam-bots" that troll forums like this can't get your info. That said, anyone in the world can "read" any post you make here, so keep that in mind also.
With respect to your "profile" (Under "My Stuff"), notice there are two places for an email address. At the top of the profile page is a field for "email address and "verify email address." These two need to be the same email and is NOT seen my anyone but me. Under that is a question: "From time to time we send out emails regarding this community. Do you wish to receive these emails?" If you answer that NO then you will NEVER receive anything from me (at least not anything that gets sent from the system). I recommend you keep this set to YES because sometimes I send stuff out to the group that may be of interest. I don't SPAM people - my emails are far and few between, but I do occasionally send info of interest to the group.
Further down the profile page, there is a place for a "public" email. So, for example, you might have a Comcast email you use for your "official" admin email (only I can see) but you might have a gmail or yahoo account you want to use as your "public" email. If you do have a public email listed (optional) ONLY members who are logged on can view it when they view your profile page. Lurkers can not view member's profiles.
Just FYI - I NEVER divulge personal information not otherwise listed in your profile by YOU. If someone requests any info, I will email YOU that request and YOU can reply if you so choose.
One last thing - most people don't realize that when they post their email in a forum like this, the SPAMBOTS can harvest your email (for their spam lists). I have modified the software here so that if you post an email address directly into a message or post, it will replace the "at" symbol with a small .gif image of the at sign: @
Thus, an email address will not look like an email address:
you@youremail.com (<span style="font-weight: bold">note</span> the "at" sign in a small image). This prevents the bots from harvesting your email because they can't see the "at" character.
NOTE: This does not work if you use the "create a link to an email" icon if you are using the "full editor"
<< If you enter an email using THIS icon in the editor, it will NOT replace the "at" sign and the email address "will" be visible to spam bots. So, if you MUST post an email (yours or anyone else's), I highly recommend you just type it into the post direcly.
Hope this helps answer any questions. More privacy info for the forum can be found at the "Privacy Statement" link at the bottom of most forum pages.

Hi Guest!
Hey - did you know if you click on the title of a thread it will take you to the first unread post since you last visited that thread?
but were afraid to ask: 
STOP!! Never post your email address in open forums. Bots can "harvest" your email! If you must share your email use a Private Message or use the 
smilie in place of the real @
Pretty Please - add it to our Events forum(s) and add to the calendar! >>
