Hi,

I agree that allowing RIPE Atlas users to send messages to probe hosts
would be a useful feature. I also think that requiring someone to log in
first before sending a message to the probe hosts is a sufficiently high
bar against systematic abuse (to begin with -- we can be stricter later
if needed).

I can imagine the form also having a feature to let the original sender
expose her email to the recipient to facilitate further communication.
