I think he was makeing a point that you shouldn't post about a private message to the whole world.

Let's follow this through:

So, if P is private and the OP posted a reaction to it on the public forum that would be ironic. My statement would then be sarcasm.

any further questions?

Unless the sender requests the message remain private, IMHO the electrons are the property of the receiver. He can do what he likes with them.

Sending a snide PM and then blocking the other person strikes of high school.

uh.. that makes no sense.

Have you ever heard the expresion, 'pot calling the kettle black'?

yes... the idea is that the OP would be calling the PMer black. ActuaryTm would, thus, be acting as some kind of unrelated third party and therefore be spoiling the whole joke and making it pointless. he would be awarded no points, will not pass go, and will not collect $200.

lol, nice job funny-ing up my thread guys. And yeah you figured it out, I used this particual PM to make a PSA and PM the guy back. So now everyone knows not to do a little flame drive-by on me. (of course some probably will now) :|:D

You have been previously banned under several names, and all of your current nef accounts are now locked.

Good bye again and again and again.

I'm sorry. The response we were looking for was "I agree", or any other affirmative statement of agreement.

We also would have accepted any acronym variant involving the letter L.

Thank you for playing, and enjoy your fabulous consolation prize.
