Here is my beef

I have enjoyed learning so much about Audio through What's Best Forum and Audiogon over the last 8 years.  I have many new audio friends from around the world as a result of these forums.  In some cases, I want to explore even more information from individuals on certain topics and threads.  Sure you can send an email through Audiogon to individuals but in a lot of cases, I would love to contact this person directly by phone or personal email.  I am not selling products behind Audiogon's back.  I just want to communicate and have a discussion with people on these forums on a more personal level.   I can do it on WBF but not on Audiogon.  They do not allow phone numbers or personal emails.  That sucks.

Oh wait, I have another bitch.  I am functionally blind and in order to send this message, I have to identify traffic signals which I can't frickking see.  That is BS and discriminatory.

Today, I received a direct message (though everyone here calls them PMs) and there it was at the top of the message: don’t try to contact anyone via phone or PM. First time that was ever there. It’s even in a different color so it stands out. But like I
said before, I prefer not to.

And, they did stop using CAPTCHA.

All the best,

What's stopping you or someone who's contacting you through a PM from sharing phone numbers and emails? In every instance I've had with someone here through a PM, there was nothing to stop or prohibit me (or them) from asking for a phone number or an email. 

I don't do that myself, but the option to is there.

All the best,
Nonoise
