I kept my privacy here by setting up an account just for "hopinso". There are a lot of free e-mail services out there, and many providers allow for more than one account, so its easy to have a special place to communicate with fellow Curezonians. The main thing is to remember to check all of your mail. I have shared my real name and personal e-mail address with a few trusted people, but for the most part I am just "hopinso". My desire for privacy is to prevent spam; and since I recommend Curezone to a lot of people I know, also keep some personal experiences and information private from friends, co-workers, and church members who are critical of my chosen path in alternative health.
