Xed:

I am going to tell you a fact of life. I can send you an email without knowing your email address.

To repeat, I can send you an email without knowing your email address.

And it's not because I'm a moderator either, as I said, I don't have to know your address.

When you registered you put your email address into the system, and since you did not block emailings in your profile, all I have to do is go to your profile and click on "Email Xed," and it's done. I still will not have your email address. But you will have mine, in the header of my email. If you respond I will then, and only then, have yours.

And there's an easier way also. Just click the "EMAIL" button in any of your postings.

So, if you really think you were addressed through RCU, and you want to eliminate the possibility of any further email, just go into your profile and turn email off. The "EMAIL" button will disappear from your postings also.

We can still send you a note by using "PM," but if you don't check your inbox you wont know someone has rung your bell. No addressing information is given on a PM.

So. Your email address is secure, regardless of how many notes you might get through RCU, unless you answer one of them.

Hope this settles your mind, as there's no loss of security.

Bill.
