    Has anyone else been getting PMs from people who just joined?

    Has anyone else been getting PMs from people who just joined (no posts) asking questions about threads they found through Google and asking for a response by personal e-mail? I got a PM recently from a guy who is asking for help getting a set of dies made for an odd cartridge (357/45 GWM) or asking if I was interested in selling my dies. This seems legit, however I just got another e-mail from someone else who just joined asking a question with an easily searchable answer and providing a personal e-mail for response. Two e-mails in a short time span from people who apparently joined for the sole purpose of sending a PM asking for a personal e-mail response is kinda' setting off alarms.

    Anybody else?

    Nope. If I were you I'd ignore the PMs. It's probably some hacker or scam artist trying to send you a worm in an e-mail.

    So, this is totally off-topic. I noticed you changed your avatar a while back to the t-rex. It was not till today that I noticed the gum stuck to its foot! I love that kind of sly, unassuming humor! Sort of takes you by surprise.

    We found out what "dealing" with progressive lefties is all about. Our side gives up something, they give up nothing and the progressives come back in a month or a year and want us to give up more... rinse and repeat...

    That's okay, I'll just buy a new computer when the money arrives from the Nigerian prince.

    LOL. That reminds me, I keep forgetting to claim my inheritance as a result of being related to the ancestors of that same Nigerian prince, as well. Apparently my German and Dutch ancestors just couldn't keep their peckers tamed on that African safari back in the 1600s.
