Yes & no Scott. They still have to go to PM, get the message, respond to the message & then have that person then go to PM, get the response & respond to the respond. I'm really looking more for an IM thing, where you don't have to go through those extra steps.

Guess it might (under the system you outlined above) require me to go to everyone's profile to see if they filled it out (including IM) & do it that way. That's ok; heck I had to register them under my current AOL stuff as a buddy (so once I figure it out, I can add them); this isn't that different.


But under the new system, so many folk haven't personalized anything cuz they're still trying to figure it out, that perhaps TalkMail can add that as a thing to do - ie, figure out myflyertalk, do your profiles, etc, etc. I know they have - but a lot of folk were still dealing w/ the hey it's so slow when it first came up syndrome.
