So far I have sent 3 here.
And got no answer whatsoever.

Are Private Messages not popular here?

I respond to PMs. I can't say how popular they particularly are, I don't get many.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

It most likely depends on who you sent the messages to.  Are they here often, or do they just check in once in a while?

It seems one PM went to you.

I just sent out 3 messages - and none was answered.

Is it that nobody  ever looks into the "in" folder?

I tried to reply earlier and everything crashed...so, I'll try again.

Your PM confused me a little because you mentioned my putting in a good word for wine.  I had talked about drinking the cheap rot gut stuff in my teens.  I thought you had me confused with someone else.  I don't drink wine. I don't like wine.  There was no question in your PM for me to answer or a lead in to discussion.

There was no ill intent.  I really thought you PMed me accidentally.  

I am sorry if you feel I have wronged you in some way.  awty

@arewethereyet

It is all OK! I remember that you wrote to tell others, that drinking wine does not mean that one is an alcoholic. I wanted to thank you specially for that remark.

And no, you have not wronged me!

It was only me wondering whether there might be someting wrong with my message folder, as nobody had ever sent a message back.

I'm still waiting on a response from someone ...

I did entertain the thought that there was an error in the forum software. I'm kinda left out in the dark, because I consider this PM to be rather important ...

I see that others  have simular problems! 
So it was a good thing to start this topic.

Correct, the PM wasn't directed at you. It was sent on October 17, 2020 at 12:58 pm
