Is it in good taste to send PM's or Emails to individuals that you would like to correspond with. I don't want to infringe on anyone's privacy.

Frances,

It would be my opinion that those who become members of this forum should understand that we do have a PM capability which means that they understand that they accept the probability that someone may wish to contact them privately. As for Emails, most post an Email address with their profiles.

The other side of this is if you get a PM or Email and you do not wish to respond --your choice.

I think you will find most of your sisters here more than willing to share with you privately, assuming ........... well you know what I mean.

Hi Fran,

I'm sure there's no problem. After all, this is one of the forum's main raison d'êtres... to allow people to network and connect. As Virginia said, just keep in mind that, once you've sent a request to someone for communication via e-mail or PM, the ball rests in the other person's court; it's up to her to decide whether or not to accept the invitation. Don't be offended if she declines... many people do value their privacy and are a little bit nervous already just being on an open forum like this.

Personally, I always accept such an invitation. Not just because I'm a moderator but because I like this kind of exchange and I like people, period. My problem is that I don't check my e-mail accounts as often as I should so my correspondents know that they need to be patient with me (and they usually are).

Good luck in your own correspondence, Fran!

Love,
CJ

Hi Fran,

Heck I enjoy getting PM for my sisters , as stated above you can reply or just delete it.
I'm very open and will talk about most anything

Thanks That was very helpful. I just wanted to get an opinion from those whom had been on longer.



Frances

I'll heartily agree with Carol Ann on this one. I love exchanging PMs with other members. Ask anything, and I'll try to answer the best I can.

I too love to exchange e-mails with other members in the group,.

It is so nice to find out what people in other parts of the country are doing

It is nice to correspond with others and develop friendships. I got a PM from Caith last evening, to be honest getting messages is like getting a Christmas present - fun to open.

Fran

Even more surprising to find that Frances and I were about to enjoy the same television show!

Caith,

It certainly was a pretty good show, though I prefer canoes on calmer lakes and streams. I am enjoying interacting with everyone so much that I added an email address to my profile that you can email me from the posts now. Caith, you and CJ are like sisters now. Oh by the way thanks for the wonderful comments about my picture. As I said, i'd never posted any pictures before and your acceptance made it a wonderful experience.

Love



Fran

There's a whole nation of us out there, Fran!

I have to agree and it would probably be better if we were running it.

Fran

CJ,
I saw that you are from Montreal, I have relatives that moved from here and became Canadian citizens living in Ottawa.They work in one of the Government Ministries. I actually used to spend a lot of time up north of Kingston camping, went scuba diving once in one of the lakes and came face to face with the biggest fish that I ever saw. But winter lingers longer.

Hi Fran

Go figure... you start a thread about the appropriateness of getting in touch with other members and here folks have now started an open correspondence, as it were. Cool. I like this. Still, I have a sneaking suspicion that SilverLady may be about to lock the thread now that your question has been answered. So let me get at least one more paragraph in before she does.

I live in Montreal. Beautiful city. Festive and bubbling (once it wakes from its 6-month winter slumber, that is). Yes, I'm francophone (that's what they call people who speak French up here; you can probably guess what an anglophone is)... but I'm Franco-Ontarian: I was born in the neighbouring province of Ontario... in Kingston, actually--funny that you should mention my hometown. I was only five when we moved to Montreal and--with a few exceptions in the 80s and 90s----I've spent my life here. I love this city. Hope you get a chance to visit one of these days, Fran.

Love,
CJ
