This contact form will serve as a secondary way to reach you through
your email address and for people using only the forums to post or read
messages. People who use the mailing lists linked to each forum/subforum

current forum system) might cite the address *explicitly* in their
replies.

This contact form will serve as a secondary way to reach you through
your email address and for people using only the forums to post or read
messages. People who use the mailing lists linked to each forum/subforum
will still *see your email address* and might cite the address
*explicitly* in their messages depending on how their email client is
configured to reply and if you have a friendly/display name set for your
forum account.
