Apparently... SLBS made a PM to many members.

Whenever anyone responds, it replies all.

Don't respond, if wanting to reply, do it in the Fprums.

cheers!

I got four from four separate members
I hate to disable as I use it at times to communicate with good friends from many years of being on this forum

Guys, I'm absolutely certain Rollie never intended for this to happen.

For future reference though, we now know sending bulk messages may not be the best idea.

Perhaps the admins could place a limit on how many people can be tagged in a PM?

+1 He is reaching out to members that haven't posted as much as usual. If you read the messages you'll see they aren't spam.

I don't open messages from members I don't know or who I have not had directly respond to my postings
same as with my personal e-mails
Just that if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and honks like a duck it's probably a duck
His message looked like spam to me so.......................

I got that message from SBLS and there were a few response messages included. I was wondering at first when I got the notification that I had 9 PMs and thought 9 different people PM'd me at once. :P That would be odd for me, since most discussions I'm involved with take place in the threads.

BB and everyone else, I was sending a message to everybody that I have friend on the Forums but didn't know what would happen after that first message. Should I start a thread explaining it all. I'm sorry I should have asked Brad about it but thought he might be too busy with NAMM.
