There is no way in hell I am adding my e-mail to your database, and there is no reason I should need to create a burner account just to verify you. It is your job to be transparent about your content, but all you have ever done in all our interactions is be evasive.

How about this idea: on your site (if it is your site...) you probably have an "about us" page or a social media links list. Why not update that with a "find us on HIVE" link? Then, in your post boilerplate here, add a link to that page.

Y'know, demonstrate some professionalism here.
