I agree. He could have simply said "yes there is," and moved on to the next part of your post.

OP, if you 'report' a post, that text goes to a mod. Private messages are opened up at 150 posts? or somewhere around there.

Why do people think that providing a single simple piece of information obliges the recipient to divulge all manner of personal details.

Can you not accept that if I want to PM somebody then the matter is PRIVATE

You really need to work on your people skills and change the way you approach people.

The actual content of your PM's/e-mails are private and none of my concern and to be honest I don't really care about them. But that is not the issue at hand. You wanted to contact someone using the PM system, which you couldn't do. Depending on what it is you want to discuss there are alternatives you could use, which I was trying to figure out.

Besides that, telling people it is none of your business and accusing them of prying into your personal affairs is rather offensive if all we try to do is help. How hard can it be to tell us in general terms what it is you want to do.

And before you answer me: Don't bother, you are on my ignore list as of now. Have a nice day
