Hi all,

I've turned off the private messaging feature because, well, I think it has a bug where private messages get sent to people not intended to receive them.

Until I can confirm whether this is a bug or just my imagination, I'm turning the feature OFF.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but privacy is my PRIME DIRECTIVE on this site and I'd hate for any private discussions to get public distribution.

Okay Doug, that explains why I couldn't see how to get it. I know I've seen them before but then I just got back on here and saw SD's post and was like...wow am I that stupid? (no comments now y'all)

Z.. I know you got it as did the other people I wanted to get it but, it sounded as if doug said other people got it. I sent to 3 people. I'm not too worried cause everyone in here is family and I trust them but, just wanted to make sure.

“I believe that freedom of speech should not be so abused by some that it is not exercised by others because of fear of smear. I believe we must not become a nation of mental mutes blindly following demagogues.

I don't think anyone other than me is getting the occasional private messages intended for someone else . . . I'm sure if any of you got a private message not intended for you, you would have alerted me, right?

No, like I say, I occasionally receive one of these private messages . . . and you can believe me when I say that I don't read them (I know, hard to believe, but it's true . . .as soon as I realize it was for someone else, I stop reading).

Perhaps people accidently click the Private Message (PM) icon on one of my replies when they intend to click someone else's PM icon . . . but until I know that for sure I thought it best to turn the whole PM thing off.
