Absolutely, I've had some delightfull P.M's that have been complimentary and they have been a much treasured and welcome boost. Most P.M's are about specific things, such as meets etc or just some nonsense chat with people I know, but occasionally one pops up out of the blue thats from someone I havn't interacted with in the cafe very much that has a compliment in it and I really do appreciate it. Sometimes I get one that is no more than a sentance from someone and those are also viewed as being a compliment, lets face it, someone has taken the time to bother tapping some keys to say hello thats compliment in itself.
..davej who doesn't P.M. anywhere near enough people to tell em how much he enjoys their posts..
