I would have preferred to resolve this misunderstanding off forum but obviously you see this differently. Feel free to edit my post above as I do not seem to have that ability/privilege as yet, nor the ability to contact anyone via private message to not discuss issues like this in open forum.

Sorry, I don’t have any control of the technical aspects and “contact us” messages don’t come to me. Ruy Horta, whose site this is, is no more able to devote his entire life to it than John and I. Membership is free, nobody’s getting a salary but a lot of people seem to derive some value from it all, nevertheless.

AFAIK private messages become available after you pass the five approved posts threshold. In the past we had a lot of complaints from members getting junk mail from a spammer who had just signed but never posted, hence the preventative measures.
