AI Thread Summary
Premium members of the forum cannot view your registered email address, ensuring your privacy. However, if you choose to email a member, your email address will be visible to them, and you will receive a warning before sending. It's important to note that replying to an email from another member will also disclose your email address. Concerns about premium members having access to personal information, such as social security numbers, are exaggerated; they do not have access to such sensitive data. Overall, users can maintain their email privacy unless they initiate direct communication.

Yes, since you've specified your instant messager name. You can change your user set-up at the top of the page (User CP).

:blushing: No, I mean the e-mail address with which I registered.
 
No, not that one: you have specified that you do not wish to receive emails :smile:

No. No one can see your e-mail address, not even if you agree to let others e-mail you.*see below

But remember this:
If you e-mail a member, that member will receive the e-mail address you registered with on that e-mail. You will get a notice warning you of this before you send the e-mail. *If you receive an e-mail from a member and you reply, your real e-mail address will be sent to them as the "from" information.
But no one can view this information from PF.
 
Yep the premium members get everything. They have your social security number (if you live in the US), they know where you and your family live, they know all; so if I were you, I would not mess around with them premium members.

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
