Well, not confidential as in credit card numbers, but not necessarily
public. Also making it not public deflects some hastle from the people who
think computers are the work of the devil and the internet doubly so. I'm
giving them less excuse to complain. Some people don't give out their
phone numbers on the basis that we'll give them to double glazing companies
and the such like! As if we'd do that. It makes it a real pain in the
arse when we have the need to contact them urgently.
I'm avoiding putting in peoples names and phone numbers (not members,
crucial contacts) but thinking of adding email addresses for contact where
possible, relayed via an alias on my machine to the real address. Either
that or a web form.
Basically if say Fred is running a competition he may not want his name and
telephone number displayed publically on the internet. Whether it is
appropriate on a private web site is a matter for debate.
Basically I want a private web site with as little fuss as possible.
