I can also send if I wished, a private message to any other member at proboards and it's only accessible to us, not the entire group, so if I wanted to find out something from just one person, it's like using a pager, plus it keeps track of messages you've sent, messages you've received.
Guess I'm just greedy and would like a combination of the best of both MSN & Proboards. If I knew how to do programming and the coding myself, I could make a MINT! LOL
