Ignore this message!!! What's an acceptable way to get one's attention?

DBSTrader2

I was just re-reading the thread where everyone introduces themselves, and saw an interesting member post. I'd like to PM with him, but he doesn't have his PM set up. Short of responding to the post to set up his PM (which he may or may not ever see again), what is an acceptable way to get this request out to him? Is it ok to put up a post entitled: "Hey, xxxx, turn on your PM!" ?

Update: Thanks for all your suggestions! (All except the one about mooning.... my trial is set for next week! )

ya, why not?

Depends on the member, if he visits this site once a month, he'll probably never see it. Not having the PM function on is usually a total newbie sign.

Acceptable ways to get one's attention... hmmm...

Open the window and yell?

Flying tackle from across the room?

Drop trou in the supermarket checkout line?

Loudly proclaiming "Awright, who farted??!!!" during a quiet passage at the ballet/opera?


I'm sure there are others...

You can also post multiple SSPs and you'll certainly get my full attention.

Sorry, DBST, I didn't even realise the default setting for PMs was "off".

It's fixed now...

Creating a post entitled "What's an acceptable way to get one's attention?" worked, in my case.
