You do realize, everyone, that we now have a "Personal Messaging" feature here at IW?
Courtesy of the Upgrade!
So there should be no need to disrupt a thread for personal messages. Simply send someone a PM. Mems and I tried it out last night.
Oops...sorry, to activate it, click the little "Private Message" icon just to the left of the "Edit-Delete" icon on the message.
Cheers,
