The information in the "profile" section of this forum is just as open the the world as putting it in a posted message. If access to private e-mail addresses in this web-site was limited to "C170 Association members" then I would have less of a "problem" with that. I have my "directory" close at hand all the time and if I need to see if a member has an e-mail address or phone number listed, that is where I go. The same applies to those that I want to call me or send me a message. I ask them to look up my name, phone number and e-mail in that book. I figure if they don't have a membership directory, then cest' la vie.

In my experience they can't be installed without slicing a finger, scratching the paint or deforming the little buggers. If someone wants to make them out of softer material it probably work some better but a two-piece replacement would be lots easier to install.
