Swampwalker has hit the nail on the head. they may claim it is a security measure, but the root of the change is financial security. Although I agree that the site requires income to sustain, it is also a community of people that share a passion for music and equipment. They should be permitted to communicate un-chaperoned. As a thought: how would everyone feel about a membership fee, that would offset the loss of income on the occasional side deal? Just a thought as a alternative to the censorship of e-mail addresses.
