I got a message from him today and i used it to counsel him to realize , what damage he caused to himself. he promptly replied that he did not know, and he has done in good faith thinking that it was the procedure. he has sincerely expressed sorry too. I frankly told him as to how to convey your feeling to others!!! perhaps this person would not, i believe, repeat this method from now on.

By the way, I remember to have seen that a member would be be eligible to post a PM until he posts at least a predetermined open posts, thus enable himself. Also, if possible, there could be a brief list (bulletted of course) that the terms and disciplinary conditions, before a person is allowed to become a member. He / she has to tick to the effect of agreeing to the conditions. A caution can also be built in that in case of violation, the member could be banned for a predetermined period or permanently. I request the administrator to please try to see the practicability of the above suggestions,

all this I am suggesting with no dis regard to new comers and perhaps in their interest for as precaution only.

Why all the apology acceptances ? An engineering student in India (which is a leading and emerging electronic IT country) is probably quite "computer savy". AND very probably is quite aware of forum etiquettes.

His method of trying to solicit info was wrong. I searched the forum and I still can not find a new post with his original enquiry.

I really do not care if his intentions were misguided or deliberate.

I was just worried that his private email to me breached guidelines or posed a security risk (as stated in my opening post). as I found "ZIP" on his name or posts.

As has been explained to me this is possible. Ok, lets move on, I accept that someone whom I cannot locate on this forum is allowed to post private messages. I think that this "loop hole" should be reviewed. (Post before Access to Private Mail Messaging)

Lastly, I cannot think of one occasion where anyone would join a forum AND NOT make a new post or reply to a post !

Sorry, I dont feel at all inclined to feel sorry for Prathosh, Sorry, Sorry ( do I get another green blob too)

Cheers
RetiredHal

Edit later ; I just saw his name in another thread on this forum and he has an Avatar. As far as I am concerned that means that he is not a complete Newbie and is familiar with forums and the way forums operate.

Cheers RH

no sir.Really this is my first forum.Believe me.When this happened i just tried to know about this forum and while doing this i felt like using a picture against my name and assigned one.I will post my question soon.

Oh, I dunno. I figured out avatars after about 2 seconds my very first time on a forum ever. It ain't exactly rocket surgery.

sir we come here just for the sake of knowledge.i don't want to disturb others.i felt bad when Mr.sarma said about my mistake.So i just wanted to rectify it and the only way i found was to apologize.I don't wanted to pose myself great here.We lack some facilities here which you people don't.so i wanted to learn more and i found this was one of the ways.This is actual fact. please don't think otherwise.

Great Sir, RetiredHal, I admire your openness. I only wish to see 5stars across your name soon. I feel there a way to block PM or e-mail.

Wow, not even one post, and two green squares!

I am jealous.

mvs sarma

Perhaps, openness and accepting what he did was wrong, would have have paid him

I feel we need not bother about the squares or stars across our names. If, we can serve, we can , Take my example, a retired person. I want to learn further and share what i think I know to others, and I am sure this puts a lot of strain on my mind to rehearse the subject, and I love it. lot of learning I am able to do on an international and technical site like this.

I feel prod of being in a society of eminent people spread across the world, but so close. I really enjoy the global village effect, courtesy the invention of Internet and world wide web. Same time I am thankful for getting taught, how to move around in this society, learning from my likely mistakes.

This is the secret of youth, in a nutshell. Our minds are like our muscles; the more we use what we have, the more we are given to use!

That is a great thing to feel proud about! I don't know how old you are, but I do think you are wise.
