Aha, there he is, not the one you thought Marty, at least I don't think so! Let him step forward. ( I am assuming this is a guy, women don't do this kind of stuff). You know I have been visiting this board for a long time and have taken all kinds of BS for some of my opinions and I don't mind that, it is the fact that somebody would use my private mail that is totally out of hand, but then again I made my email public, kowing some of this stuff went on, so who is to blame, definately not you! I don't envy you your job! I just wish people would use the "chat" for some of this stuff, would make your job easier. Take care!

I get mad when people put posts pertaining to "Living in Belize" in the "Other Parts of Belize" category.

Private Message Notification

clover just sent you (kippe) a Private Message at Message Board for Ambergris Caye and Belize.

You are being notified because you are have instructed us to send you a notification each time someone sends you a private message. You can disable this automatic notification in your profile settings on the board.

Here is the message sent by clover:

Subject: private message
--------------------------------------------------

Are you assuming that when someone sends you a private message on this board.....and a copy is sent to your e mail box....that someone has sent you an "email"? If that is the case go to "my profile"....then to "my preferences"....and unclick the box that says send PM to your e mail address........that way a "copy of the private message will not be sent to your e mail address..... PS I do not have your e mail address......the message is routed through this Board.......and your e mail will come from Marty@Casado.net. Again....no one has your e mail address......just change your "preferences"..........or eliminate Private Messaging altogether.

--------------------------------------------------

Wow, easy on the ellipsis...

kippe, why did you post clover's PM to you...? What's the point?

I thought your PM was helpful... hopefully others will see the post.

This is why "travelqueen". I did not post the rather nasty e-mails that precided this one, obviously that would have been a waste of my time, I did post this one so that people using this board AND make their e-mail address available to the administrators would know that they can be subjected to the kind of stuff this fairly new member to this board resorts to. As Marty, who obviously does not personally forward every private message being sent, has pointed out, there is a serious problem with "board hackers" out there and not only with this board. I for one really appreciate Marty's articles and hope that the threads don't deteriorate like this one has, because this obviously has nothing to do with anything Cuba does or does not. However, I did feel that a response was appropriate.
