Dear Murtaza:

As I read your posts I smiled right away, and still smiling because of the very good feeling of talking (typing really) with you. As I read your suggestion to exchange emails I felt excited by the idea. I don’t want to stop or interrupt our communication here (by shifting to email) because our special communication here may help other people reading it. But I don’t want to lose you in case the website shuts down. If you want to, you can give me your email and if we lose our communication here, I will send you an email and take it from there. Does this sound reasonable to you?

If it does, for the purpose of not having your email public for more than a few minutes, you can do the following: send me a post asking me if I am ready for your email, then look for my response, when I send you a response saying “I am ready”- send me a post with your email. Then wait a few minutes and Edit your post, removing the email. (In between you submitting your email and editing it out, I will copy it for my personal use).

I will send this post now, will be checking frequently for your response in the next hour or so, and while waiting I will send you another post replying to the rest of your recent posts.
