As you can tell Angelina it doesn't take much for us to get off the subject here, but to answer your question. I have never been PM'd without initiating it first except one time and that was a pick up from a lesbian member. And the thing is I didn't even realize it until the third or fourth PM. So be careful what you wish for.

I have found that once you get talking to someone then the PM's flow like floodwater.
you learn cool things from PM's, Its amazing how strange we all are.
Oh and i am sure i am not fake, might be though.
How does one tell if one is fake? hmmmmmm ponder

No need. I have my daisies delivered, and I have my wife smell them while I work. Then I smell the coffee while she works. It's a symbiotic relationship. |

Haven't you heard that we can have it all these days Backward??? Great jobs, success, sex, expensive dental care, cheap shoes and a glittering forum persona?
Most of my PM's are sexual requests. Well, the ones I send anyway.......

Ok- this is your 3rd self-righteous/B.S. post in 2 days, informing us all that we need to just "get lives" or whatever you said.
Just a hunch OX, but I would venture to say that almost everyone here has MORE life than they know what to do with- friends, family, children, jobs, hobbies,church, social engagements etc. etc. which ARE the very things that are hindering the completion of our great literary masterpieces!
