Pen Pal?

I'll PM you as soon as you get PM powers. There's a minimum number of 28 posts required and also a minimum time of 2 weeks membership. You have the latter but need 17 more posts.

Wait....I get Powers here??

When did that happen? :-p
 
You have edited out the words you put in my mouth so no point my answering you now.
The only thing I attempted to put in your mouth is a completely unedited(though admittedly high-calory) chocolate cookie. Would you rather have a lemon shortbread? Or an oatmeal biscuit? My gingerbread is not bad either.


Phil, you have no powers yet but you'll get some :) Have a look here: http://www.trekbbs.com/faq.php?faq=vb_faq#faq_promotions

Incidentally....it says at the top of my screen that I need 50 posts to do a PM....

"As an anti-spamming feature, you will not be able to add an avatar or send private messages until you have been a member for two weeks and you have made 50 posts."

Which one is correct?
 
Seriously? Go ahead and edit, we all have second thoughts about what we've written. That's cool. Saying you didn't, so replies to your original words look OTT isn't. This has happened before with your posts. I was going to quote what I'd written in this thread and then quote what you said I'd said, but that is now not possible. And that's fine, this is bloody boring anyway, but for god's sake don't act like you didn't edit anything.

Anyway I am about to put into motion (MOTION) my grand plan of penpalness, you will all bow before it and be swept away and stuff like that it will be awesome.
 
That's indeed puzzling, Phil. I shall ask the Admins.
It is more likely that the board's pop up is correct and someone forgot to alter the FAQ entry.
I have an idea: there are these handy "use-once-and-then-delete" email adresses. Contact me at this address: temporaer12009-trekbbs@yahoo.de
and I'll delete it after I read your mail and reply from my real email address. This way the spam bots and spies will be none the wiser and neither of us needs to post our real email address publicly.
 
^ah, thanks for the info, teacake. It's much appreciated.
It came a bit late - I just posted at FAQ - but it can't harm to remind our revered Admins that there's still a wrong file to correct occasionally.
 
Oh if the FAQ says 28 that is correct. The msg they got must be wrong. FAQ must have been corrected but not the message. Low priority methinks.
 
oops, my bad. With "FAQ" still running through my head I promptly wrote it. I posted at QSF I meant of course. I wouldn't dare writing anything in FAQ - Bonzie would have my guts for a jumping rope :D

How about a wager which one is wrong, teacake? If the FAQ is right I'll send you a postcard and if the pop up is correct you'll send me one? (we could PM it, instead of snail-mailing it. This way neither needs reveil his/her name and address.)
Are you in?

edited to add: it'd be a more creative way to compete. And it might actually be fun! :)

edited again to add: and if it's not too personal a question: what's your gender? I always thought you were female but someone (I forgot who) said you are male. Now I'm a bit unsure which article (in the grammatical sense) to use with you.

Sausage? Or Marshallows, rather?

Got your letter on Saturday, Phil =) I'll propably not have time to respond until Wednesday. You should get my reply some time the second half of next week, our respective mail distributors willing :D (look out for a short envelope, about the colour of vanilla pudding :))
