Because of the ever increasing amounts of spam taking place daily, and all of the programs that are available to spammers to harvest email addresses from discussion forums, I feel it is in the best interest of everyone to remove all user email addresses from the POA website.

Should you decide you still want your email address available, you can opt-in by including your email address in your signature.

I hope this helps reduce the amount of spam you incur.

Your comments and thoughts are welcome!

Best regards to all,
Mike

BTW, Because we are using spam filtering on our POA incoming mail and there is a chance that we may never see your email. If you should email any of the POA contacts and not receive a response within a reasonable amount of time, please resend your request through the POA Private Message System.

Was going to remove my E-mail address, however it says this right above it.
Warning: Because we require email verification, if you change your email address, a new password will be created for you and emailed to the new email address you list. Thus, do not change your email address unless you can retrieve email from it to get your new password.

Wait - Before you try and delete or change your email address to a dummy address in your Profile.
STOP! DO NOT DO THAT.
When you change your email address - a new password is also created and sent to the new address. If your new address is a "dummy" then you will not receive your new password. You will be unable to post. You will have to contact Mike or I to manually reset your password.

I believe Mike wants to remove any email addresses that are AUTOMATICALLY displayed on the site. I have to change the programs to accomplish this. If you wish to show your email address - you can add it to your signature line on any post. -- Tony Goertz
