I'd also say (and I'm sure Mandrake can put me straight on this) but you can't PM anyone until you've made 5 posts. I think it's 5? I only mention it because every so often I get a desperate PM from someone who isn't a member of TM, has read one of my posts and wants to ask a question. They then join and PM me. I don't actually get the PM but I get an E-mail telling me I've got one with the persons frustrated question. Unfortunately I have no way of replying to them - at least that's what I've found??? They then probably think I'm an ignorant so and so.
My advice is therefore to post a few times and reap the benefits!!
