Email vs IM

[Skink]

Why is it ok to have IM names listed in one's profile, but not post email?

Both are legitimate ways to contact someone you'd like to chat with outside of this forum.

I use trillian, so yes i can support multiple IM names, but u know what, i'd like to use email instead. I understand its to avoid "hookups" and "MOM" requests. But know what, i could just as easily do that on IM as email.

You're closing one contact method, yet embracing another?

Not having email links in your sig is protecting you from spammers...
