If it would at all be possible, I think rather than an email address, the contact should go via the registration name in the forum. Many people have lots of email addresses and that was one of the "busy" points on keeping the World page updated in the beginning.
I guess I am more guarded than most. I would rather say I have a Chevy and GMC truck and live in Southern Maryland (our version of a "county") but definitely not the state.
If someone comes along who lives in MD and wants to know more about us, they should go to John's signature line. This way, each person can keep as much information private as they like but still giving others an idea that they are "out there" ... make sense?
We have some folks with nice stuff. I have even started leaving off the cities on the gallery stories as I would hate to be the one who directed some creep to a really nice AD 1-ton that ends up missing.
The idea of the World page was just to see who your neighbor was. Besides, we have some Bolters here who don't have trucks any more. I think it would still be nice for them to be counted, so to speak.
The other nice thing about not having the email listed on the World page, it will make it harder for anyone to harvest them. If you "meet" someone there, you can scope them out in the forum and check their posts to see if they seem to be fine upstanding Bolters ... which most of our gang are.
On the trucks again, you can say Big Bolt, Panel, Burb, maybe. Will people actually do a search for similar years? We have all that in the Gallery breakdown pages? Just wondering ...
Thanks for taking this task on Paul. I think it will be helpful to the people who are trying to meet up with one another. They seem to be doing pretty good to find each other via the forum, but I bet this will help.
