Sorry Lemondog, you'll have to elucidate - I've no idea what you're referring to - and do you mean personnel, or personal? There's nowhere on this site that asks you to give your personal (presumably email) address other than when you first register.

It's to widen the membership, Lemondog. If you send a friend your GOY personal address, they can log on and see what's happening in your garden, and maybe join.
It isn't your home e-mail address.

That's interesting, Spritz . . . I'd always wondered.
Bamboo, I think it comes up when you add a photo to your garden, along with "ready to share"?? I've seen it several times.

Thanks for all your info, that's sorted, cheers every body

Well, not something I've ever noticed, so new to me. thanks for the info though..

You're welcome. :-)
