Can't reply to a message with out a payment method and phone number????

Why does Audiogon need a payment method and phone number registered to reply to a message? This is not a sales inquiry but a message form another member about a form question and advice on amp speaker matching. I'm not too keen on giving this to Audiogon for this reason. Are they charging me to reply to a member to member question?

it's been like this for 2 years now. It makes zero sense.

It makes sense from the standpoint that Audiogon is a business.

The messaging service was probably put in place to support commerce.

I'm guessing the requirements are in place to weed out scammers.

The forums are a freebee that we all enjoy.

so if someone has a question for me from the forum and wants to message me, they have to have a paypal account. Got it. Makes perfect sense. Actually I would ask for all the childrens' allergies and SNN numbers as well. Without those, how can you message someone, really?
