I really don't know the answer to your question but you can get a temporary anonymous email at a lot of sites that expire after a set amount of time. So you can post the temporary email addy and once contact is made change to your real email addy.

One example here

Redlover is that you? Yes you can....but you have to turn it 'on'. If you have it on it will look like this when you click a users name:

To turn it on it's under profile - advanced settings near the very bottom:

So if people don't know about it or don't have it on then you can't. You'd probably have to start a thread with a callout asking them to turn on their messaging.

I hope that helps.

Yes Autumn, it's me. I'm back. Thanks for the response! Your house must be near completion. We scrapped our last plan and took a hiatus. We liked it, but when it came right down to it..it was too big. This building is not for the faint of heart , is it. Thanks again.

Thank you Bryan. I didn't realize emails like this were an option. Good to know...and nice to learn something new.

Good to 'see' you. Yeah well we are on the 2 year plan, lol. We moved in a year ago and it is mostly finished but dh also built a barn last fall and we are working on landscaping and grass now. Our list of still to do items is getting smaller and we are still sticking with the adage "we are closer than we've ever been".

Good for you for taking a step back and re-evaluating to keep yourself on task with your goals. I can't wait to see what you end up with.
