when you click on someone's name in the forum (in the by "so-and-so" in the subject line) you are taken to a screen where you can either leave an online message via the private messaging system or you can send them an e-mail. You simply can't get their e-mail address via that link. Personally, I kind of like it that way. Kate - who gets enough junk mail from the U.S.P.S. and doesn't need more through the internet
