Gee, I didn't know my PMs had such devastating effects! P.S. I received the response just fine. #39725 - 08/27/01 11:28 PM Re: PLEASE DON'T PM ME!   Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 wwh Carpal Tunnel wwh   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 Dear Max: I regret having unwittingly offended by sending you so many PMs. I too very much regret that I have no copy of the PMs I send, and often cannot remember what I have said to whom. But I do enjoy receiving PMs, and would welcome more than I get. #39726 - 08/28/01 08:41 AM E-males   Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 1,055 belligerentyouth old hand belligerentyouth   old hand Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 1,055 Berlin The annoying thing I discovered about the PMs is that I often didn't know wether I'd sent something or not, and ended up posting multiple copies of the same message - silly system! E-mail is a simple alternative - and might I happily remind you Max, that I have only contacted you by menas of SMTP in ther past. Bill admits: I often cannot remember what I have said to whom. Sounds familiar:-) #39727 - 08/28/01 01:31 PM Re: PLEASE DON'T PM ME!   Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,773 Sparteye Pooh-Bah Sparteye   Pooh-Bah Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 1,773 Poor Max! I am sorry that you have such trouble with the PM system. FWIW, I never have a bit of trouble with it, making me think that the problem is either timing - you are up and posting/reading/responding during the time the AWAD server is undergoing daily maintenance routines - or has its source in the connection between you and the AWAD server... your ISP or an intervening server, or something. Anyway, may I suggest that you modify your Profile page to no longer accept PMs, so that people don't inadvertently make you nuts? (At least, not by sending PMs ) #39728 - 08/28/01 01:48 PM Re: PLEASE DON'T PM ME!   Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 5,400 of troy Carpal Tunnel of troy   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 5,400 rego park yes, yes, yes, i hate that i don't have a copy of what i've sent-- someone asked me, if they could quote me-- and i though-- what exactly did i write? i sent a PM since i didn't want some of what i said being public-- either because it's too personal (l have sent others i feel comfortable with, my real email address,) or because its not really appropriate for any of the threads..

However, (that wonderful word, beloved of all academics!) I have found ti very useful in the past in keeping in touch with people on the board who have been having e-mail problems, so I am prepared to forgive it it's shortcomings. Also, I haven't published my e-mail address to all and sundry, so how the hell else can they get in touch, one asks? #39730 - 08/28/01 09:33 PM Re: PLEASE DON'T PM ME!   Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,146 Capital Kiwi Carpal Tunnel Capital Kiwi   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Nov 2000 Posts: 3,146 Northamptonshire, England I agree that when you get a run of PMs, it's hard to remember what you said and who you said it to because of the lack of a copy. I did have a go at copying PM contents to a text file before I sent them, but that got out of hand very quickly. Sorry you're having trouble with PMs, Max - I've never had any at all.
