I had a guy contact me about my cables, but he's not a member of the forum, how did he get my email address when I only allow members access to it?

    Even when I'm not signed in, I can see your email address listed on your profile page:

    That's strange, on my settings I have "only members" can view my email.

    The setting is called "Allow other members to see your email?" which seems to imply that if you enable it, then both members and non members will be able to see your email address.

    Yay Vanilla?

    Yep, that's the one. You used to be able to specify members only--and I assumed that setting did so. So "everybody" see's your email, or nobody.

    It'll cost you $500 for me to remove it Steve. I hacked your Polk membership and sold your email on the black web.

    I hope you don't mind me doing this.

    If you do not pay up, I'll send TonyB after you. Be worried. Be very worried.

    it's all good. I'm kind of famous, so I get a little nervous when my email is out there.

    I quit buying Marlboros when the price got to 14.00 a carton. The cost and mainly for my health, I was able to quit. I saved money in an envelope. 14.00 a week. At Christmas time, I went out and bought a bunch of woodworking tools. B)
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
