Re: Do you PM regularly?

I use PMs to send messages to friends or people who are having a bad time. In fact I would use them to send any personal message, if I thought they would not want the topic to be posted on the open forum.
I also phone some members.... but that can be difficult if you don't know their phone number!

No I prefer not to communicate via PM but will do on occasion.

Ones that you may be offering advice or support to over news revealed on a thread?
There are a few people on here that I PM - but I wouldn't say it was 'regular' - just when I have something to share that doesn't necessarily belong in an open forum.

Re: Do you PM regularly?

Never send a pre-emptive PM, but, as others have said, always respond to incoming, the response would have been given in open format anyway so, I guess PM's In this context are pointless.

Re: Do you PM regularly?

I message a couple of members who I feel I have a connection with, I've made some good friends on here and I do consider them friends even though I never met them. I don't however appreciate messages sent out of malice, unfortunately I have had one recently but I won't be receiving anymore. No, the messages I have received and have sent have been lovely. I think it's good to send messages it means you feel you have formed a bond with someone, I love to make friends.

Re: Do you PM regularly?

I feel the same as Bruce and Spitty, I'd rather post on the open forum, but would return a PM should I receive one, it's just polite and good manners.
If I had a really personal message for someone that I would not like posting on the open forum (like falling in love with a member..) I would prefer to email them...

I don't like commenting about people behind their backs, and I don't like PM's with criticisms about other members either..... That's not why I come on the forum....

Re: Do you PM regularly?

I'm happy with just forums but will reply to a PM. I would never want to exchange phone numbers though.

Same with me mate. I have never given my phone number to anyone on the forum although there are many people I do trust. I don't like phone calls at the best of times and rather not be tied down with my mobile everywhere I go.

I have given one or two people my email address but then what can I say on an email that I can't in a PM? If I was to be meeting someone from here I would certainly give them my number so that we know where each other is etc., but that's not likely to happen - although I'm up for a chat with anyone on here to be honest.

On FB I am receiving & replying to p.ms all the time, but those are all from people I know or have met in real life.
What rubbish. I think you are a great poster and I like you.
