Hi, I've just noticed that privat messages are disabled here. I can understand the reason why (they take up space and they don't help the public), but in this forum is would be very important to have privat message. OzCIS for example erases privat messages after they are read by the addressee. -David PS. I already know your anwer… "use e-mail" :-\

David, You are right in regards to my answer … use CompuServe Mail. Our staff sees no reason to use up valuable forum message slots when a member can just as easily send a message to mail. Remember, a private message is accessible only to two people where as a regular forum message is available to thousands. Just an effective use of good resources is the best reason to disable private messages. Larry Forum Staff
