I've said before - quite openly, and not aimed at anyone in particular - that I really don't understand the need to post in a thread that you've PM'd someone. The personal message flashes up automatically when you open or refresh the forum, and - perhaps depending on one's personal settings - you also receive an email to say you've received a message, so you're most likely to see the PM well before the post telling you you've got one. And if it's not about notifying the person you've PM'd, what exactly is the reason?

Sorry to add fuel to the fire, and it's not meant personally, but I have to confess it irritates me, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Just out of curiousity, why do you almost always seem to feel the need to put your advice in a PM, instead of on the forum?

Just out of curiosity, why does it matter to you???

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I didn't mean it in any offensive way - in only matters to me in that I would quite like to read Bagpuss' advice, because I imagine it would be rather good advice!

I'm sure the "maggiemail" and the "jomail" also contained some worthwhile advice.

I'm not going to apologise for irritating people here because there are PLENTY of contributors who irritate me!!...I am just too polite to say so and certainly far too polite to name names.

I'll bog off now for a wee while and let you all find someone else to have a pop at.

Kind Regards, mwah, mwah,

Bag.

I agree with Czerny. I don't see the point in posting a message saying that someone has sent a PM to someone else. It's like sending a letter to someone and then sending another letter to say that they have sent a letter. Waste of time and space in my opinion and just clogs up the board with unnecessary messages.

In my case, the pm contained some description of similar experience, which I would probably not wish to post on open forum.

I can certainly refrain from posting that I've pm-ed, if it ####es people off.

I agree too. as it seems many do. Some people do seem to make an anoying habit of it all the time. Isnt the idea of the ABRSM forums to have public discussion not endless posts of 'You have ***mail' - which leaves me and others quite bored?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) - and those that you all find so 'irritating', too.

Perhaps you'd better vent your irritation somewhere else, TNO?

I've just googled "TNO". D'oh. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif)

It's not a big deal, really, I just don't understand why you would - effectively - say, "Hey, I've got something private to tell you!" in front of a group of people. You wouldn't do that in real life, surely? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

To be honest, rather than finding it irritating, I've always felt how lucky people were to be getting Bagmail, as I knew they would be getting some helpful, sympathetic advice.
