the last two or three people I PMed never replied

[_Sethbag]

and I can't tell if it's just that they didn't really care about what I said, or they didn't notice that they had the PM in the first place because they didn't look up in the left corner of their screen and notice it was a 1 instead of a 0.

The previous system by which people would become aware that they'd been PMed was far handier, IMHO.

Sheesh. I'm terribly, terribly sorry. I didn't notice your PM.

But I do appreciate your expression of total support for my actions and complete agreement with my views, and will, as you request, keep it a secret just between the two of us.

Okay, that was funny.

As an aside I don't notice them but I have email notification set up so I know when there are messages. It works for me, might not for anyone else.

Oh oh. Ooops. Never mind.

My post immediately above is a joke.

No. It's a personal message that I inadvertently sent to the board itself rather than privately to Sethbag.

No. Wait a minute. That's not right either.

Somebody else posted it, using my name.

Yeah. That's it.

It's not true. Sethbag didn't really write any of that stuff to me. And, anyway, I'm sure he didn't mean it seriously.

I did actually PM Daniel with a little banter about "Pride and Prejudice" and how I thought the two most recent movie versions of it stacked up, which he never replied to. ;-) That's ok, I know you had a lot of things going on with Scartch at the time. I forget how much more time I must have than you since I pretty much just ignore those threads completely. ;-)

Hmmm. I'm sorry. I actually did miss that one.

I'll respond to it at some point soon. Right now, I've got my hands a bit full with Mini-Scartch, who's rehearsing a list of some of my greatest crimes against society and ethical behavior, and, anyway, I've got to leave the computer and attend to some other matters.

This made me laugh out loud (along with the preceding post).

Well done.
