I was unsure how to go about this post and which board to publish it. Perhaps, should I use Pm? I discovered that using Pm might be a clear definition of an unsolicited message, hence this post.
Almost every first pm is unsolicited. Do not swear about it to much, except you are speaking numerous members or sending messages to advertise a service or product.
I always have the feeling of an ingrate not having a way to say thank you, but after this post, I will be ok.
Your contribution to the forum is enough thank you. If every member took out their time to contribute positively, rather than only looking for how to benefit themselves, this forum would be a far more better place.
I sincerely believe that before my 4yrs in this forum, I would get to meet some of the forum users in person.
That's quite unlikely, for a privacy centered forum.
