Is this assumption correct?

I agree. Therefore, when Jersey Girl comes back, send her a message and be as transparent as you want via PM.

What if Joseph consented to the PM being posted, just to clear things up?
Dr. Shades wrote:It doesn't matter. NO PM POSTINGS/REFERENCES WHATSOEVER. Otherwise, the whole board devolves into discussing that and nothing else.

Considering this could be a threat to MDB being shut down, you're steadfastly sticking to the "letter" on this occasion? Not to mention the fear all posters now have. Every time they will want to post an image, this bogey man is going to make them think twice, and it's going to turn a lot of people off.
