Message the wanted posts on this site? Or getting our email or other information? After about a month, I'm still getting emails from all these British guys "Paul Cleave", "Jerry Garret" and "Jerry Blackthorne" asking me if I still need injectors. All they have in common is that they copy and paste my post title as their email subject, and every few days they ask me again if I need the parts. It doesn't really bother me or anything, I can just mark their email as spam and be done with it, but what about the unsuspecting person that eventually takes them seriously and gets ripped off by one of these guys? Can nothing be done to deter these people, or at least to keep them from reading our messages? On most forums you have to be a member to even be able to send a message to someone through the forum, let alone get their email or name. I like that we can email each other here by reading other members' messages, but shouldn't that just be a privilage for the members? I've checked, and none of these names are members here. Also if we report the ip's from which their emails were sent, can those ip's not be blocked from here, since we don't have a lot of members from Britain anyway, and I doubt those who are members from there have similar ip addresses to these guys anyway. Just a thought on trying to make it safer for those of us who are members and want to honestly help each other when possible.

Thanks
