I totally agree. If you can priv. the individual then the message boards fill up with back and forth and back and forth with the same info. Doesn't make sense to me. I had rather someone priv. me than to fill up the board with personal messages of information and also you cannot send large sized pieces of info that way as well. I don't personally like it but suppose I will get used to not being able to communicate......Learry Warren P.S....Just my personal opinion....
