My apologies to @silverpop ...

@silverpop and I had quite a dust-up on the BS&T forum a couple of weeks ago. It appeared as though he was blocking my PMs and was ignoring me. I had purchased a few coins from him and I was trying to make contact with him to make certain he received the USPS MO.

Well, to make a long story short, I found out that if someone deletes a PM thread your PMs will not go through. However, you can still open a new PM thread and they will receive them. Colin was not ignoring me after all.

At any rate, I received the coins, was totally embarrassed over the entire issue, and I apologized. He graciously accepted and all in the past.

Yeah, there were a couple of things we both could have handled differently, but I fired the first salvo.

We're good now.

Cheers

Bob

    Technology is great until it stops working or not being able to use it.

    Very glad it all worked out.

    Just a misunderstanding and it happens all the time. We all you you’re a good guy😊

    A misunderstanding but a display of maturity by both parties. Seems like what the forum is build for. Good on ya both.

    This should get corrected with the admins. I myself have sent PMs through an older chat, never knowing that it was possible that it could go missing since the chat was previously deleted.
    That must be a glitch. Makes no sense

    Agree that it makes no sense. If I post saying PM sent and a mod deletes the post; the PM I sent is also deleted? Weird if true.

    Forgive and forget. Life's too short to carry stuff around, and it can make life shorter.
