E-Mail from Diary of an Affair

I received an e-mail from the producers of "Diary of an Affair" today, offering me compensation to tell my story of someone who lived through the rollercoaster of an affair. I was horrified! I have used this message board as a way to safely vent my incredibly sensitive emotions about the most selfish thing I have ever done in my life in the hopes that I could eventually work through it and maybe like myself again one day. Today when I received an e-mail in my personal account, I realized that what I had done wasn't so safe after all. If someone was allowed by ivillage to e-mail and ask me to share all the details of my past affair, and my husband had somehow come across that message, my marriage would be destroyed. I'm pretty upset that this happened. Has anyone else received one of these e-mails? It mentioned that they had read some of my posts on this board, invited me to share details on a nationally televised program (AS IF!!!!), offered compensation, and also mentioned my member name, which I guess I won't be using any more. My husband may not know my password, but he could always search for my member name and see all of the posts I've ever left on this site. I'm more than just a little bit freaked out right now.

You have an option in your profile to allow members to email you.

If you don't deselect that... anyone can email you.

You may want to check into that or create a new email just for the boards.

Yup, I got one too, and needless to say, I wasn't happy about it either. I didn't know I could unselct my e-mail address though. Guess I'll be doing that. I'm not married so it's not to big of a threat to me, but still, UMMM, no thanks!!!

I got one too. When I checked my profile just now, I did not select the member to member email!! I guess I'll be changing the email address associated with this board.

I got the email...but i had not selected "yes" on member to member email....so Community Leaders...I have a question. How did that happen? Am I confused on how this works?

I am single so its not that big of a deal but I am curious as to how i got that email from the show producers if i DIDN'T check off "yes".

Thanks for your assistance,
Lizzie

I also did not check the box to allow anyone to e-mail me, so I'm pretty disturbed about it. I AM married, my husband DOES have access to my e-mail account if he really wants it, although he's not a very snoopy guy. But if I ever see a message pop up on my e-mail account again that has the word AFFAIR in it, I'm going to blow a gasket.

I got the same email as well. My DH isn't here, but if he would have read that email...the A would have been disclosed to him. I went to my profile. I don't see where I can check this off. I will be changing my email address. Pisses me off.

I received the e-mail, too. Not married, but STILL! No thanks. If I wanted to talk openly about this I'd go on Jerry Springer and publicly humiliate myself.

I have not gotten the email, but I do not want to take a chance. I have ended my A, but I in no way whatsoever want to take the tiniest of a chance that my MM will lose everything if someone finds out. Everyone on here has been wonderful, but I will not be back. There are a couple of you that have my regular email address. If you wish to or need me for whatever reason, please, do not hesitate to email me there. To all, please, stay strong, and believe in yourself! I love everyone of you!!!
