Benjol@MarcGravell, Another thing I've thought about is private/direct messaging. People are going to carry on asking for it, I fear. The main reason invoked is being able to send other people 'private' contact details. I think that if you satisfy that need, it might remove some of the strength of the demand. Idea: people could enter their contact details once in their profile, then you'd have a special syntax/button for making them visible to a specific user.
