I wonder if the mods/admins would consider an e-mail pals introduction service.
I have over the years read several posts by particular people and thought that I have something in common and would like to know them better.
I know you introduced the 'Chat' but most times I logged on there was no-one from the Costa Blanca forum and anyway in the General Forum I could not type fast enough to keep up with any comments.
Again I know about PM's but you do not know whether when you asked or replied to a PM whether the the recipient wishes to enter dialogue on other matters e.g general exchange about benidorm or trivia of your own life.
I, for one, would welcome being able to hear from and e-mail to other members knowing it would not be an intrusion into their privacy. I appreciate there may be problems under the Data Protection regulations.
In it's simplest form, a list could be compiled of members who wished to participate, perhaps with some other details of interests or ages and after initial contact personal e-mail addresses could be given.
A pen-pal type contact would be ideal for me where I can type at my own pace and reply when suits or when I have something to say.
Is it feasible? Would others be interested?

P.S.One problem I can see that is everyone who participates would like Sanji to be their pen-pal!
