Hi, based on a reply I got from a posting I did, the email I got (from the forum system, not direct from the the respondent), had his response but when I looked at the forum where my question was, his answer just said "PM sent" So, it appears that there is a way to send a response without it showing on the forum page?? If so, seems he didn't want details to be there and possibly this means that I should respond same way....but I can't find out how to do this. please advise how you do a response to a reply without details of ur response showing on the forum page for that topic. I'm sure I am just overlooking an instruction somewhere .... Thanks ! Steve
