I would think that the TechNet system should never reveal an individual's email address. But if in the message or signature area, an individual want to list name, email, address, phone numbers, company slogan, etc, that would be fine. I, for example, have my email address under my name. By the way regarding unwanted emails, the advice I get and follow is: - never respond - don't click remove me from your list - don't email asking to stop sending emails - some people will then learn that the email address is good going to a real person - in your inbox, highlight the email & right-click - click "Junk E-mail" - "Add sender to Blocked Senders list" Gene Felder [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bev Christian Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2009 12:55 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] membership limitations to Technet Gene, Would you allow names and e-mail addresses IN the actual e-mail, as you have done?

I don't think much of the idea. Our company is a member. But, I am not. I have participated over the years from my home computer, as a non-member. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Glidden, Kevin Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2009 10:28 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] membership limitations to Technet While I highly value the all-inclusive nature of this forum, it is perhaps an exploitable feature as well. I continuously receive emails from people offering services with whom I have had no previous interactions, and I often assume (perhaps incorrectly?) that our contact information and email addresses are being mined from the forum by those who join simply to generate contact lists. Would limiting Technet membership to those from domains whose companies are IPC members, or requiring entering of an IPC membership number to register destroy the all-inclusive nature, or improve the quality? Does anyone else share these observations?
