I must also point out that the very first line of this thread states that "The Moderator's Team is
considering this new 'rules set' for the swap forum."
It's very interesting to see who is getting all bent out of shape over this. Nothing has been put in place and the very fact that it has been put out here for discussion should tell you all something. Now...everyone breathe...
BTW, i also think that email addresses from sellers should be optional. On the other side of that coin however, the seller might want to consider that posting their email address would allow
more potential buyers to contact them, since lurkers who are not members would be unable to use PM.
