Michael,
  I will not be intimidated by any vendor and if they have a problem with my
comments, I hope they have the guts to reply to me personally.  If we start
doing as you say, then WHY have the Histonet?

I realize that this is the far from the best solution to the problem,
but perhaps if we don't put our contact information and affiliation on
all our e-mails, vendors would not be able to contact our employers.
 You could still include your phone number when you want someone to call
you, you just have to be sure of who you're talking to.

I know this sounds paranoid and very uncommunal, but with vultures
everywhere,
maybe that is unfortunately what's necessary.
