No stimpy, it's not that easy - and i want one-stop email like i had before. And as others have said - on this thread & others - if we choose to have our email address accessible then that's our decision.

Before if others didn't want theirs exposed (or if they were ok w/ it) it was an option - on/off - and that worked. Now it's a multi-step process. That takes time - mine is valuable, and I get a LOT of messages from FTers.

And others get a lot of emails and/or PMs as well, especially the more experienced & well-known FTers. Right now I'm lucky that I had a # of folk's email addresses already stored of folk I deal w/ on a regular basis (like yours). Otherwise, it becomes a major hassle sending messages.

It ESPECIALLY becomes a hassle for those who are planning dos - you can say 3 clicks but if you were planning the London MegaDo like sandiego1K last year, that's 330 clicks every time she wanted to send out an email re: the Do & there were a lot of emails towards the end. And she wouldn't have had the time to do it all that way.

If you don't want to give up your email address & want to work through PM, then you have that right & can just set it up that way. But for the majority of folk who prefer to have it accessible again like it worked before we ever switched to the new program, we would like Randy to make the switch to the way it was. Meets both your needs & ours.
