Good morning, Crowlee.  This is George.  Thanks for the kinds words and for sparing us the competition :-)

Many of our HUB leaders have asked about a messaging feature.  We do have one in place.  It can be seen by going to a members profile and scrolling down to the contact form.  You simply enter the message and it gets sent via e-mail to the member.  The e-mail message also contains a link to your profile, so all the recipient has to do is click on your profile and message you through your contact form.

At no time does anybody see anybody else's e-mail address.

The only shortfall is that members do have an option to turn off their contact form. 

On the other hand, it has a significant advantage over Inbox systems because a recipient does not have to be on the site to get a message.  With most people picking up messages on their cell phones, coverage through our system is far greater and faster. 

Otherwise, it is very efficient.  

What are your thoughts on this system? 

Regards,
George
