No, our messaging system depends on cookies that you get when you register as a member. Our membership isn't like joining a club - it's just a way of getting access to features of Mudcat that won't work unless a person is identified.

So, it surprises me when people huffily "resign" from Mudcat because they've been insulted or something - the membership is essentially meaningless, but it does give a person access to certain features.

I also am surprised by those guests who expect access to Mudcat features without being registered. It's not a matter of discriminating against guests. It's just a way of getting access.

To protect his email address from getting spammed, I will delete it as as soon as I get acknowledgement from mg that she has received the information.
