Due to them being personal - perhaps it is as well that the use of personal messages, without the prior agreement of the poster, (no matter how good the quote) is not encouraged in this thread?

I also have one or two PMs from this source, however, I would not post these publicly, even with permission............*smiles*

Just because a thread is closed it doesn't mean it can't be opened.

Sorry to continue in this pedantic manner but - why then close the thread in the first place?
