WTF do people not have visible email addresses in their profile as standard? Or a PM function at least?

Because once time the bunch of twunts on here wound themselves up over something I supposedly did and some of them wanted to e-mail me and express their displeasure.

I don't show my e-mail so twunts don't e-mail me.

I don't even want to read PMs from 99% of the misinformed grumps on here.

I have a specific email for all my cycling and social network sites which is not linked to my outlook.
If it gets spam-botted I just delete the account and create another.
My close friends of course have my real personal account.

Why? if people want to be contacted, they'll show a valid email address, if they don't, they won't

Do people actually care about spam anymore?

Gmails filters are so good it's pretty rare anything gets through.
