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.

Thanks for the reminder about PMs Tony. I bet you get quite a few responses that aren't meant for your eyes!

Even though we all know that we have to reply to a PM through the TOTV site, it is way too easy to hit "reply" without thinking and send a PM off to Admin.

BTW, you guys do a wonderful job of administering the TOTV website. We are truly grateful for all the time that you spend taking care of us. :bigthumbsup:

Wait! Who's Eddie? Sounds like a pretty busy guy. What's he got? Maybe he should copyright his emails. Might make a good storyline for a soap. Or maybe reality tv comes to TV.

Hey, I see he's a Buckeye. Maybe I know him. Somebody needs to find out if he was at Miami U in the late 60's, early 70's. If he's the right Eddie, I know some girls who are still looking for him.

It looks to me, Eddie, like you are in some deep and serious trouble.

Yeah, right, Eddie,

That's what you always said to those poor Miami U girls when you invited them to the golf course. The golf course AT NIGHT. (btw, there are buildings on that infamous golf course now.)

I know email had not even been thought of yet, but...YOU, Mr. Eddie, had better hope that those girls I know who are still looking for you have not been treasuring, lo these many years, those long lascivious letters that you so lovingly penned to each and every one of them.

Now, you will have to stay awake all night trying to remember if you signed those letters. Heck, they were probably run off on one of those ditto machines with the purple ink.

So, Eddie, as I said somewhere on here yesterday, all paths lead to The Villages. Look out.

(I gotta get Boomer outa here. You all are way too much fun.)

Who is Eddie? The scandal meter had gone rather dormant around here for awhile and all of a sudden a new Lothario appears on the scene from out of nowhere, riding a drunken squirrel. Or is the drunk squirrel...named Eddie and he's riding a horse??? http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj277/lake21brook/IMG_1101.jpg
Wow, you women are in serious trouble. You are casting aside all those wonderful husbands of yours for a rodent?

I am going to graciously make this offer to you all. I will take your old husbands, thereby freeing you up to run up and down trees with "fuzzy tail". Tom thinks this is a great idea cause he needs help with the yardwork to get the house on the market. So just send them on over ...and beware of heights and horse hooves.

So then do you send it on to the right person? Somehow I missed that bit of info. You guys have gotten to know me rather well. :redface:

If you don't send it on Tony, then how is they have gotten my answers? I'm confused.

tony
05-02-2008, 09:01 PM
If you replied here on the forum under the Private Messages section, they get them.

Jan tells me they don't get them if you reply via your private email after being sent the notification from the forum about having a Private Message awaiting you on the forum.

Is this more clear, or am I digging deeper?

Just Susan
05-02-2008, 09:11 PM
I have replied both ways and to the best of my knowledge they have received my answers both ways.

The reason I think they have gotten my responses, is that they have replied back... irregardless of which way I responded.

I of course could be wrong the aging process hasn't skipped me, but I think I am correct. I will check with my friends.
