Fountainhead Discussion Forum
Fountainhead Discussion Forum requires a valid e-mail address, which too you have the option of hiding from other members, for users who want to participate in the message board forums. On the message board, this helps us to protect our community from abusive postings and provides a verifiable point of contact should legal questions arise. At any time, you have the ability to keep your e-mail address hidden from other users by selecting that option within your user profile. Also in the forum registration, you have the option of providing some additional information such as your location, gender, age and a homepage URL etc. This information is made available to other message board users to foster a sense of community. If you have any concerns about providing this information, simply leave the fields blank and your registration will still be processed. From �modify profile� you can also select the option of staying invisible to other participants. You will then be visible only to the Forum Staff.
