E-MAIL addresses in posts: PLEASE READ!!!
NEVER post an E-Mail address on FTE, there are web BOT's out there that specifically search for e-mail addresses online. Once they find one, they continue to seek around the website they were on until they have searched everywhere...
This is why we've been seeing a lot of "SERVER BUSY, TRY AGAIN" messages when coming here, Ken filled all of the mods in on it a while ago.
If you check a users profile, you can find a link that allows the site to forward an e-mail to that user, but out-front addresses are a no no...
The E-Mail link in users profiles accomplishes several things:
It keeps members E-Mail addresses confidential so that spammers and other underhanded advertisers cannot use them.
It prevents malicious "BOT's" from creating jam-ups on the server.
It also greatly reduces the odds that you can be tracked down by people with bones to pick at (such as ex-wives, or chevy owners that cannot lose with grace (winkezz)...)
