Too many messages

With all due respect, my email box has become clogged with too many messages from the same posting. I would think respectively, that if one needs more answers to an issue, maybe private messaging would be appropriate. I do apologize if I offend anyone. Otherwise, I guess I will have to unsubscribe, it's overwhelming. Thank you.

I agree with you Tom and Maria, I don't think all should be discussed on here.
I am trying to unsubscribe from this forum, but can't find out how. Any suggestions?

Noooooooo!!! I find these invaluable! Please don't stop commenting. There are a lot of messages though so if you don't want them please just unsubscribe and come back at your leisure to check the forums. If the information goes to pms no one else can access it. And I need all the help and connections I can get! ( - ? •?)

Thanks for your honesty. I heartily agree and have another suggestion. Many of the most recent messages are arrangements to meet or discuss issues one-on-one. If these senders would use the private message option, we wouldn't all get these long strings. II've connected via the private message option with folks to arrange meetings and it works perfectly. Also, I've noticed some people are simply using an existing subject string to introduce a new topic. This forum works way better if senders create a new topic title if they want to introduce a. new subject. I still like this forum, but was also beginning to feel a little irritated by the overuse of some senders. Thanks

I feel the same way. But I also wonder if everyone on here is genuine .

To OldPro and SixYears's comments: I also appreciate seeing all messages, as we can learn from the majority of them. I use PM when discussing personal financial info, otherwise I prefer to share info across the group. I so wish users would bother to learn how to use the site features. Most people are genuine; I've run across a few who are selling their services, a few who give really bad info and a few who ask outlandish questions. But there is nothing like this site for current, responsible info.

I understand what you are saying, but mayvbe it wasnot understood there was the possibility of private messages?
I hope that comes across now and this can go on as I find this very informing!
Thanks for letting know and please maybe you can inform about how to go about that private messaging, ok?
Kind regards,
Scarlatti

I've only been a member here for a very short time but I have learned so much already (like the consulate in SF requires a letter of reference.) I do agree that personal meets-ups can be arranged via pm's so the rest of us don't need to read all that. Thanks

LOL, it is an opt-out, not an opt-in forum.

I was annoyed when I got dozens of e-mail notifications after first joining, until I realized that rather than 'subscribing' to get notifications a most other forums I use do, this forum requires me to 'unsubscribe' instead.

You just have to get used to unchecking the 'subscribe' box at the bottom when you comment on a thread or start one.
