I like my address for two reasons. The reason I use an intial after my name is because someone with my full name did a search and found the posts I send. He then started sending me e mails. He turned out to be OK , but at first I didn't like it. Another reason is anyone that knows your e mail address can do a search and see waht you are posting. Now for example maybe I make a post about something IM going to do like a trip someplace and I don't want people I deal with to know. By using the club address they have no way of following up on me.Barry
