I have not used these functions yet and I'm wondering about them. I don't think the FAQ covers it. A couple of times I have thought about telling a poster here that I find them and their contributions generally interesting. I haven't as I considered this might taken as being forward or "coming on" or just misconstrued instead of just, well, paying a compliment. So I'm wondering how you have used these functions. Thanks.
Good idea for us to write a bit about it in the FAQ. So far, we've not seen any problems with people sending compliments/hellos in messages. Since we require some participation in the forum before people send messages,we've not heard of anyone being offended or felt uncomfortable. Thanks!
