As I was saying.................
Given the objections, and the fact that we did not give you any warning at all, we have reinstated the OPTION to provide an email address. Currently it is only available to the person who first starts a thread, but it may also be reinstated on the Post Followup form as well.
Please be aware that, should you choose to put your address there, it will be available to everyone on the Internet including those tireless bot address harvesters which go around all web sites looking for email addresses to sell to spammers.
In the mean time, please feel free to discuss further whether or not it is a facility that is really wanted/needed on your posts. As I said not having it can be inconvenient, but it does reduce the possibility of spam overload.
