[musictlk] Inaccessible online contact forms and Websites

[Annabelle Susan Morison]

I wish they could do this for Vectormedia Software as well. For example,
Sales, Tech Support, Administrator, and User Suggestions. They used to have
a contact form, but Heaven knows what happened to it!

The problem with publishing your email on a website is that it can be
indexed by google and other crawlers that can allow spammers to better
contact you. Also, some folks have multiple departments such as billing,
sales, tech support, etc. In the case of musicians, it would be booking,
publishing, product, etc. This way, instead of publishing a ton of emails on
a site, which will ultimately be spammed, a user can just choose from a
dropdown list which department they'd like to send their correspondence to,
and that message is sent to that specific address. It really makes it easier
on the user and the web master. However, no excuse for not offering audio on
a capcha.
