Be careful what you send to people in private messages and PM responses. Some people respond to the Private Message from the email that they received as notification of receiving a Private Message.

When they do that, the admins get a copy of the email they sent, and, of course, the message that was intended by the original sender to be a PM.

So Darrel, Jan, and I get the PM and the answer and sometimes a long chain of messages. (It is pretty dull stuff mostly, but we hold out hope for something more exciting. ;D )

This is caused by the software, and the author knows, but is not reporting any changes yet. No date in sight, even though we don't want those PMs being copied to us.

If you get an email notifying you that you received a Private Message, throw it away. Do not respond to it.

Instead, log into the forum, go to your Private Messages up there at the top of the screen and respond from there.

Please do this so we don't get the PMs. We really don't want to read them, nor do we want to know who thinks what about whom.
