We think there is a simple solution - one that has been thought about and really is just a matter of timing for us. In a new version to FlyerTalk, we're likely to be introducing personal email on FT, that will allow you to mask your own details of email but yet allow you to be corresponded to within FT - that is, the program has private mail only available when you are on FT (member-to-member). We've also thought about the relaunch of public email but as noted above, that will probably lead to spam as well as it really is an internet problem, not relagated to only FT. Anyway, it's on the horizaon and thanks for reminding us it needs to be addressed. We do need these reminders from time-to-time.
