Hi Anne-Marie,
It was probably me posting my e-mail address which prompted your comments. I totally agree with you, anyone who does post their address is opening themselves up to spam mail. This is especially true of an e-mail address in "hotmail" or "aol" etc where no protection exists. Mine is on company network and with so many firewalls & the like I have never yet received spam mail - (not that I post my address very often). But I do have a suggestion - where you have members who may like to converse with each other, would it not be possible to set up a "repository" of some description whereby either the addresses can be forwarded or alternatively the e-mails. Bit of an administrative pain I must confess, but it could very easily be streamlined. (Or doesn't the paniccentre encourage members e-mailing each other?).
Regards
Amanda
