Sometimes you want to get a feel for who you are conversing with. I don’t know if sharing email addresses is the best idea since that would essentially make YW into a meeting site/brokerage. I agree, though, with the recent stance by YW not to post any revealing information (even though I personally have never revealed anything that enables posters track me down). The chatting is part of the discussion – it gives the poster an identity. We just need to be sure that the line is drawn so not too much is shared. But my opinion is not to draw the line too far back either. If YW decided to abolish screen names (and make everyone anon or guest), I would probably lose interest in posting. I bet many others would too.
