Match responds with two "support" attempts, but of course the original

Dear Member,
Thank you for contacting Match.com regarding anonymous emailing.
Match.com preserves your privacy by directing your emails through our
double-blind system. Our exclusive technology strips your real email
address and replaces it with your username and the talkmatch domain
(
username@talkmatch.com). Then the system forwards your messages to
the members you're emailing.
One way to contact members is by clicking the Email Him/Her link in
their profiles.
You can also send email messages from your personal registered email
account to members with whom you have previously corresponded through
the Match.com site. Once logged into your personal email account
(i.e., hotmail, yahoo, etc.), please follow these steps:
1. Compose a new message
2. In the "To" field, type the member's username and add
@talkmatch.com (i.e.,
JaneDoe@talkmatch.com)
3. Send the message
Before sending the email, please review the following tips protect your privacy:
* Remove any mention of your email address from the body of your message.
* Remove any automatic signature at the end of your email.
* Do not use Cc: or Bcc:
* Note that our double-blind email system strips away your personal
email address and it will NOT appear in the “From” line.
