I don't think it affects owners whatsoever except that they aren't bombarded with spam/scammers as is the case when all email addresses are openly displayed on ads (re: the tug member).

=================== I just went into Redweek Rentals to see if something had changed while I was not looking but, no, there is still a place where you send a message via Redweeks which comes up as such on your e-mail but without the inquirer having your e-mail address. A message saying you won the UK lottery would not be very convincing from that Redweek source, so I doubt if assorted spam would result. md

Hi Mary,

You are able to utilize this area of the posting page because you are a paid member of RedWeek.com. If you were not a member you would not have access to this area of the owner's posting page.

Thanks, Marty

======== That is abundantly clear. The point is that even a member cannot access the seller/renter's e-mail address on RedWeek, so how can spam become a problem? Oh, well. Never mind. MD
