I get PMs on occasion from people using their alias, but I can not send them a reply.  Why should that be?  Certainly there must be a way that they can get a reply without their alias being compromised.

In this particular case, I really wanted to get a response to the person, and I hope they don't think I am snubbing them when they don't get the response.

i would not PM an alias on a bet..if they dont want me to know who they really are..why would i want to send them a personal message when they obviously do not want any by virtue of their 'very private' persona..

If we can get PM'ed by an alias we should be able to respond to that alias.  Otherwise what's the fucking point of PM's????

I think the alias PM feature is only available on "new" TER. (just like the stupid "like" and "ignore" buttons and some other recent changes) I know some if you holdouts refuse to make the switch but there are a lot of features not available to you on classic.
