No, this is not about Ozzy's usual black-humored jokes via PM, but about this advert, which I received this morning via PM.

I see this user has made no posts.

It isn't really acceptable for people to come hear & PM our users with ads.

If anyone else has had this problem please let me know.

Thanks...

I hope Pete has a suitable solution.

Are you sure, maybe "Pete" is the code name for the leaders of this place-maybe its actually "PETE".  You know, something like: Paul, Edward, Ted, and Earl.  It's entirely possible there are 4 of them-how else do you explain how well this place is kept up.   Grin
