e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place.  The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you.  If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

and is protected from bots that glean email addresses from websites.  As far as that email is concerned, it has been cycling around for years and anyone could receive it.

It is important that each reader and poster understand the safety of their information on MTStars:

 Email Addresses

Email addresses should never be typed into a post in any way.  The email address you validate to have posting privileges is never given or sold to any individual, group, company or association. 

You may receive emails to that address from others using the Reply By Email option on one of your posts.  If you receive an email through the MTStars board, it will provide the URL to the post it is referencing.  Your email address is still not exposed at this point.  The person sending an email does not see your email address but has simply filled in an online form to send you the email.  If you choose to reply to the email sent to you, then you have actively chosen to expose your email address to the person emailing you. 

MTStars does not recommend that you respond to any unsolicited email unless you are certain of the validity of the sender.  Anyone can send you an email through the Reply By Email option on any post you make.  It will go to the email address you used to validate that post.

IP Addresses

Your IP address is private and confidential.  It is never given or sold to any individual, group, company or association. 

Depending on the email agent you use, if you respond to an email sent to you (or if you send an email to someone outside of the MTStars board at any time), your IP address may be traceable through your email. 

Can companies or individuals find out your identity? 

Yes.  Not through exposure of your information (email or IP address) but through recognizing situations you describe or other information provided by you when you post.  It is deductive reasoning.  If YOU provide enough information, you may be effectively “signing” your post.  This is true on any board, whether open publicly or not.  Even private boards cannot guarantee who their membership really is. 

Do companies and associations read MTStars?

Yes.  Anyone can read MTStars.  Information posted is searchable on the Internet.  Even a private board can be read by anyone who registers as a member. 

Making claims that MTStars provides, gives, exposes or sells your email address or IP address is a libelous claim and will not be tolerated. 

If you have any questions, please contact the Administrator or Moderator directly.

who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.

I'm in Corpus.

There should be a reply by email option.  I don't see it for you, but if you want to email me you can.

They'll have to supply a computer for me and if it is because of this restriction, then it will have to be free to me.  This company monitors this board very closely also so I'm glad to see the responses here.   I don't  keep my email on my hard drive anyway. I keep my email on my email server and not on my hard drive.  I wonder if I would be required to give them my personal log in information to my email server?

Hmm, this should be interesting.

I, by accident, posted the wrong email address.  It ought to be (e-mail address edited out of post), so if you could resend it, I would be most appreciative.

Thanks
