Wow!!! I had no idea that my pms would cause such a stir. Let me say this. I sent out five pms as far as I recall. They were sent to the people that made comments on the post. No one else was contacted. The reason that I used pms was that I didn't want to come across as trying to "blanket market" my album.
Thanks for the clarification. I can only see what is in my in-box. I saw the message, clearly intended to promote the album, and wondered if it was to me or to everybody. No way to know and thus I asked the question.
The concern is for GFSA as a whole. If one person, no matter who it is, mass PMs the membership then before long it will happen again and again and GFSA will get a reputation as a spam-friendly forum and a lot of people could get peed off and leave.
Clearly Peter was very selective with his PMs and clearly he was not spamming.
