Agree.

Agree again! Actually, I posted a for sale ad on Faecebook, but
supplied an email address in the details because I was borrowing a
friend's FB account to post the ad and really didnt want to keep using
the account. Naturally, most of those interested have ignored my
request for an email, and used the messaging within FB to contact
me... mostly questions such as my location and phone number - both of
which are already detailed in my post...

Can't help you with that one :)
