George,
MartyE does have a good point. You're fairly new to the forum. In the past each did have a separate email. I'm sure that there was a very good reason to end that practice.
In the past I noticed that whenever a member of staff did make a post it was like a feeding frenzy. There are some on the forum who lack the ability to show respect to the staff. An example would be whenever Jim Barrett would post a response to a question. There would be a breakdown in manners. It seemed as if every know it all would try to prove that they knew better. Before long there would be personal attacks instead of respectful responses by the, "know-it-all's". This is based entirely on my observations and opinion.
Wow, basically the "I know better than anyone" crowd chased them away.
Who would have thought that in such a pleasant hobby, such attitudes exist.
