I have wondered for a long time about this, what is the point of posting “PMed you” or “e-mailed you”?
Isn’t it just a waste of a post? Don’t you get a notice when you log on to the café and you have a PM? And is someone posts their e-mail wouldn’t that mean they check their e-mail? WHY post it? Is it because you are proud that you figured out how to do that and want to share it with the world? Or is that your way to get up to ___ posts to get __ status? I JUST DON”T GET IT |

You are just now noticing a waste of posts? What about a question where the answer is provided and it is followed by 342 posts agreeing with the answer?

It is a way of letting other people who read the thread know that the original question isn't being ignored, it's being answered privately. This lets people know that the person answering privately is responding, and also suggests that the topic may be inappropriate to discuss openly, even in secret sessions.

Or in the 'For Sale' forum, I use like this "I'll take it and PM'd you". This way no one else tries to take what I want. Especially helpful if the item is very important to me.

I don't get that (I wanted to include that but I didn't want to start another thread with 342 posts telling me why. drwilson RandyStewart, I understand what you are saying, but can't you say a little more like, I will be discussing this in a private message with _____. you could also post some information that can be out in the open then start your private PM's. or if you are wanting to buy something, PM's and e-mails all have dates and times, if the seller is honest they will be able to see who came first, or you can again post a little more, like that looks great I can't wait to see what we work out (PM'd you) that will at lease let everyone know but is won't become a form of PM'd you PM'd you PM'd you PM'd you |

The only stupid question is the one not asked.

Most of all I agree with Steve V.
I also agree with Timothy Drake's AMEN. drwilson had some good points when supplemented with RandyStewart's comment. That was funny when Margarette said "Steve doesn't mind reading the same thing 341 times, but when he gets to that 342nd time, that's when he's had enough!" But most of all I agree with Steve V. Grandillusionsmagic, if you don't see this post let me know and I'll PM you. I'm going to PM Bill Palmer something unrelated to this topic now.

Grandillusionsmagic...why would you need to get it? And why do you ask Doc and Randy why it can't be done your way?
Doc Wilson and Randy had it to a T and there's nothing to quibble with because it doesn't matter that everyone doesn't do it your way or not. When you reach Elite Hall Monitor Status like Josh it might. Josh...I PM'd you... well...maybe I did. No I didn't....but I will let you know if I do...

Ok...I just PMd you.
No I didn't. But I will. For a nickle.
