The PM feature needs to have an option of blind copying (BCC) other hobbyists/providers.  All email software out there have it.

I did a quick search, and it came with zero posts on this topic...

Strange it never occurred to anyone.. I can't be the first one.. But oh well...

I work in software industry and I should know it first hand, but doesn't mean it can't be done.

As far as how much time I spend here, Its none of your business. I have right to spend my time doing whatever I like...

And yes, I think its a necessary feature.

... need this function?

If a BCC function becomes available, wouldn't that increase the likelihood of spam?

Serp is not ignoring you!

As true narcissists need to see what everyone says about them.

And there is no shortage of true narcissists on these boards  LOL

Serp is not ignoring you!

I said that in my post on his happy new year post where he said he was ignoring everyone, and to Olivia in the thread below.
He HAS to read our posts. He craves the attention. But he is pretending to ignore some of us, by replying only to certain posters!

... you are MISSING the point of PM.

Do you KNOW what PM stands for? Do you?

PM = Private Message

See that word 'private'? Yea... that means messages only between TWO people, not the whole freakin' world! If you wanted the whole freakin' world to know what you are saying... use the public forums. Duh!!

I thought you were smarter than that, Curly, but I see that is not the case.

Re: So I can PM you and BCC other people [e]

If TER would have wanted users to only PM 1 person, they would have done so in their system.

You would not have seen CC field either. Also, you can put multiple handles in To box by separating them with commas

... a BCC is Blind Carbon Copy... to me in my book... that's spamming.

If you sent me a PM and you did a BCC to 10 other people, I would have NO idea that you had done the BBC thingy and I would assume that what you had PMed me was PRIVATE communication between you and me... not to the other 10 people that I didn't know about.

As for the CC function... I can SEE who else you have sent the PM to, then I can decide whether or not to respond back depending on the contents of the PM.

This one I have to disagree with you on, Curly.

I hope that TER never puts that function in.

young college girls that he swore he'd no longer give advice (and then admonishing her for reading his reply to her post) .

Seriously, what kind of a lame hobby is it to log on periodically to see how many people are making fun of you?

So with that logic, commercial email programs like Yahoo and Gmaili also should do away with BCC feature. Last time I checked, they also had policies against SPAMMING

Not only that..Email programs at workplace like Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook have the feature, and most companies DON'T disable it.

Curly...

We are discussing TER's PM features NOT email programs such as GMail or Yahoo. Totally different programs. Yea, I know you're going to say that I am wrong.

Ok... ask yourself this question... can you PM someone like Jane Doe who lives in Eastville, Pennsylvania? No! That can only be done with email programs such as Yahoo or GMail. There's your difference.

Let's FOCUS on TER's PM functions that is done between TER members.

Therefore, I still stay NO to adding a BCC function to TER's PM features.

... Clarence, at least you are describing yourself to a 'T'. You need to stop that lame hobby of yours and use the real one.
