Spam, Email and your profile

Well now, some of you are complaining about unwanted spam (not sure if there ever is wanted spam) possibly originating from being in the forums. If you have your email address in your profile (visible to others) then you are just asking for it. I suggest you limit the personal information you have in your profile. I would suggest to the commander and chief of the forums that access to members' profiles be limited to other members who are logged in. As some of you are aware, if you "Google" your user name you can pull up your posts and therefore your profile, and, not everyone who has access to your profile is a friend. For a bit of fun, try to Google your real name and see what comes up and if you are in the mix. Just keep in mind that this is not a secure site and not everyone visiting the forums has your best interests in mind.
