I can disable email only as a global setting in the classifieds.

"Specify" doesn't limit; neither does it remove the "Contact Seller" button. I would suggest globally disabling email for the Classifieds -- after all, someone who is interested can always click on my avatar and send me a PM, without any need for me to specify doing so in my ad.

This is why we have user names -- privacy/anonymity. And, even if I choose to share my "real name" with someone, that doesn't mean I have to reveal my email address to them, or make it available to everyone else.

It strikes me as particularly absurd that I can turn on/off private messaging (and limit who can contact me via PM) through the Settings menus, but cannot do so for email contact. Bizarre.
