I agree wholeheartdly, I dislike people hiding behind email addressses, but some have legit reasons, lessen the chance of spam intheir actual account, etc. but I like to know WHO I am emailing to - now I do, I'm emailing a trusted member of TCMAS.
secondly...
I was wondering maybe can make a suggestion, also have a club feature, put your name on a list thats willing to help with someone's else tank, in case of a vacation ,emergency - and location, I can do like 15 miles radius of my home, and list what I have in my tank for holding, or have extra tanks to loan/borrow or hold on to the fishes, etc until your emergency has passed (ie: broken tank etc) and can return the items.
also, maybe can list - stuff like 'tend to have extra bucket of IO on hand, just pay for replacement cost - as sometimes emergency happens 11 pm at night, and stores are closed)
whatever, this might be tooo much, become like a store

but ... smiles

the email distribution gets cluttered with people who have shown some type of interest at some point but have never attended. Hidding behind an email address ( especially hotmail/yahoo etc. ) we don't know anything about them.
Since we meet at peoples houses and not a public place we want to limit what info we send to strangers over the internet the best we can.
When you become a member that at least ensures us that we have met you at least once. While that isn't much to base ones character from it at least is something.
