There are certainly email harvesters at work out there that visit this board regularly. I for one would love it if the email addresses were hidden. I myself use an old email address that is forwarded to my real one as I will be able to turn off that forwarding at any time. In the meantime, I have to put up with a lot of spam and viruses attached to emails.

Isn't there a way to click on a "Contact" link and have the server send you an email without having to show our email addresses? I'd feel a lot better about posting here if I thought my email address would be protected.
