I am suggesting we have a sub section whereby people can leave a contact IM - posting details only and with no answers. Like (for example) Ummmmm is blah-blah@ blah de blah; zimzam is
[email protected] so on, and because of bots that trawl fhe internet for addresses to send junk mail to we give our address in a slightly changed format to consider this and protect ourselves. I would be paws4thoughts (at) hotmail(dot) com......note the change from @ to (at) ? that saves the bots and subsequent spamming in our emails. The reason is that someone often wants to contact a member direct. Not to take a question or an answer off forum but simply to chat inconsequential crap to a fellow AB member. If there was a topic where members could post and leave their contact addresses or refer it if they wanted to be contacted it would be handy. It would work providing no ABer took a fight off forum or an answer off forum. ABers providing addresses don't have to accept a name so if Fred and George have their IM contact addresses noted and Fred and George have a fight and Fred tries to contact George then George does not have to accept Fred to chat to..........are you all following me here? I am paws4thoughts(at) hotmail (dot) com and I would love to chat to someone - as a friend - not to answer a question privately that all AB members may be following and not to have an argument off line.
