Hi CRIMPers, I wanted to PM someone on here but couldn’t figure out how to do that. Does this forum have this capability?
If it doesn’t then this place is really primitive.

Sorry, the forum software does not have such a feature.

I think that can also be taken as a compliment. I like primitive…
Definition of primitive (Entry 1 of 2)
1a : not derived : ORIGINAL, PRIMARY
b : assumed as a basis
especially : AXIOMATIC

Are these your online digs, Dr. Andus?
If so, I appreciate your hospitality. If not, I appreciate reading your posts.
But I fail the spirit of the environs. Perhaps Harvard format, a little extended hierarchical haiku, would allow better expression within the vernacular of an outlining site.
I. Need better tools.
A. Google.
1. Biased toward commerce.
2. Privacy concerns.
B. Seek solace in CRIMPing.
1. Always a perfect solution in the next purchase.
2. Great forum.
a. Join.
b. Bask in thoughtful analysis.

I suggest you post your request for such a functionality here:
https://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/8304/0/improvements-to-the-forum
I may add that quite a few of us have at certain times provided our email addresses here, in human readable form, or are easily traceable through our social network presence—at least those who post with real names. Those who have done neither of the above may simply want to be left alone, which could explain why in the 12 years of this forum (and I believe also in the 7 years of its predecessor) I don’t remember another request for such a functionality. There’s always the first time for anything though.
Nevertheless, if such a functionality is provided, it should come along with a user’s ability to switch it off for themselves. I sense a sort of Chatham House ambience at the forum, even if it is fully public and accessible via search engines, and this can only be good.
