Why Why Why...
Do people make websites for trading or to list their cards or whatever, and have zero contact information anywhere on the website?
Time after time I find a card through google that I am desperately looking for and there is no way to contact that person.
That drives me crazy.

I'm actually working on a website for one of my web design classes at college and it's going to be my cards. Contact info was one of the first things I planned to have on it. Some people just don't think

Even if you didn't want to put your email address or something you could still put your username and what site you use.
It just boggles my mind that people forget contact info. Like you said, the Contact Me page was the first page completed on my site.

RE: Why Why Why...
i think one of the reasons people do that is that there are bots out there that scan web sites to gather email info, so if you put your email addy on there in normal form (abc@xyz.com) then the bot will find it and add it to their spam list. So to counter that, you should list it like (abc at xyz dot com). Either that or they are just stupid. LOL

RE: Why Why Why...
I personally have not come across that but yes, that would most definitely be frustrating! Is there any way to leave any contact info in say a guestbook or anything like that at least?

I get alerts when people leave comments on my pictures. Think that it would do that for everyone?
