Tammy, now that I am a full advocate for PM, is it a FUTURE option on this board?
I now see the benefits might outweight the faults.

Just asking!

Tammy and RW read your replies on the 'other' thread:-) I would love to this here in the future.

I don't understand why you guys think a PM feature would be helpful or even necessary on this board? If you want to bash somebody behind their back, why not just use Messenger, Facebook message, or even Email? Don't you guys know each other well enough to do that? Seems to me that a PM feature on here would not only add more cost & maintainence to Tammy's board but possibly be a liability as well? Truly I'm not picking on anyone, just very curious...IRIE! *IG

The openness?? of this forum is one of its great attributes. I hope it stays as is.

I think for the most part the openness would continue because majority sign on wanting/needing to share not judge or defend a place they did not birth or marry.
For what we may loose in openness we would hopefully save in open scolding.

Users may directly send emails to others using your server instead of their own mailprogram.

I was able to get these emails after I lost the privilege of PM on another forum. Boom, no PM option on my account and request to restore DENIED:-). There are many options available depending on the software used.

Thank you boardies for the replies and sorry if I came off as negative or attacking. It is never my intent to hurt people's feelings. To be honest I was a little irritated when I wrote, but I really was mostly curious. I guess it's just different stroke for different folks...IRIE! *IG
