We can, on a VERY limited basis, adjust email addresses so that
communication with them would be SOLELY via the message board.
The problem is that when a message needs to be sent to the members
- such as notification of the site being down, we do not want
to be in a position where we have to manually send
a quadzillion (that is 4 times as many as a zillion) emails.

However, the contributions of SSDF people or ICCA people or
programmers from whom we rarely hear, is WELL worth the work.
