    If you click on the persons name where it says 'Posted by' above the message they've written it opens a new page, at the top of which there's a little icon that says 'email'.  I assume if you click this you can contact that person privately.

    Personally, I would still be careful what you divulge in an email to someone you don't know from any forum.  Personal information like your full name, mobile phone number and especially home address are the sort of things you shouldn't really tell anyone unless you are sure of who you're talking to.

    My opinion, perhaps a moderator will step in if I'm wrong in any of what I've said.

    No, that's almost all right - especially the bit about why we ask you not to give out your personal data.

    The only thing is that the 'email' icon lets you send a link to the page it's on - in this case, the user profile - to someone else; it doesn't connect to the user's own email at all.
