No problem so far. I have found a plumber and an electrician through the site, both living locally, both good. I'm not "bombarded" with emails, just the odd one with people looking for recommendations, or advertising a local event, jumble sale, that kind of thing. I have removed my house number. I also belong to a local closed Facebook site which warns of very local traffic problems, and items being given away. I agree about the full address thing being wrong and quickly took my road number off, but I don't mind my name being shown, which also appears in full on the closed Facebook site.
