I joined the forum after reading an article and at the bottom I saw the forum on it. I thought it might be a nice way to meet local people or at least talk to local people. Then I read where your email is your name on here and I am displeased with this. I have never been a member of a forum so willing to give out so much information on people with email included. That is wrong, and it dont go by what the rules say either. My husband was going to join too and I told him not to because his email was going to be his user name and his email is his complete name for business reasons. I have never seen a forum allow everyone on the site to know others email addresses or even worse not to allow people to create a user id. While I was signing on I kept waiting to see where it asked me my user id which would have been GTO4ever like on some other forums but instead it just threw me in here with my email showing up to everyone. I went back to the rules and it guarantes privacy for members but allowing all the members to see my email address is not privacy it is an invasion of privacy. Does anyone else agree? Today is my first and may be my last
