Question

Why would someone tell you to email them to get their email address ?

Answer 1

because the way you e-mail on yahoo answers is different than getting their personal e-mail address.

Answer 2

b/c you can email through here anonymously. Your direct email address isn't shown, but you can't send anything to them, only words. Can't send, say, a picture. IOW, I do this b/c I'd like to offer a reading to someone but I don't want every yahoo on yahoo answers to have my email address. Know what I mean??

Most regulars around these parts know what that means.

Answer 3

?thanks for 2points

Answer 4

I believe we call that a "brain f**t".

Answer 5

You have 2 email addresses....the one in your profile and your regular one that you use at home for your friends etc. We don't give out our personal emails on YA..so you'd have to email them  through YA so they can tell you their personal  email address..in case you wanted to send pictures or a much longer letter.

Answer 6

So you will have exact address spelled correctly.

Answer 7

Because if you post it here you'll start getting 1000 spams a day after your address gets sold to the spammers networks.

If you don't believe it post your email address and see what happens.
