    That's how they make their money ... if you really want to e-mail and talk to somebody - you have to pay ... the people who don't pay are either just looking around or not ready to start Internet dating ... !

    I don't remember exactly, but I know that it doesn't let you type an alternate email address in your message... however, you can type something like

    someone (at) somewhere.com and people will figure out how to contact you... that's what i did. Although, people were usually able to email me back through yahoo, so I don't know if they were members or if it was because they could email me, a member. :)
