am I the only one in thinking that that thing at the bottom to delete PM's is a bit overdone?

I am especially puzzled by what "appropriate option" might mean, apart from that you want to delete it .. it sort of hints that there is a lot more to come after you have clicked it, along the lines of: "Are you sure?"; "Are you absolutely sure?"; "Last chance to NOT delete this PM!"; "Have you thought about how the sender of this PM might feel about you deleting it just like that?" - etcetera. Well, like Windows.

And then we did not even consider any "Inappropriate options".

Hooooooooweeeeeee, Luthien!!!!

Hmmmmmm.... a few inappropriate options? Let's see.... Put this PM where the sun don't shine? Re-write this PM on the bathroom wall in the sender's college dormitory (even if he/she has long since graduated)? Send this PM to all of the sender's previous lovers? Give this PM to the sender's great-grandmother on her 99th Birthday and ask her to read it aloud?

Others? Heck, this could be the most fun thread in the forum!

I think there should be a

"OMG, I sent that PM to the wrong person, I NEED to delete it NOW in cyberspace"
option to tick :)

Can you make one of those too please L :)

Tell the PM sender, "I'll let you see my train track if you let me see yours?"

Whatcha think, Tracy?

Oh COME ON, Tracy!

Who would be so INCREDIBLY STUPID as to ever do anything like THAT??!! I mean, let's please try to be realistic here... Sheesh.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D

I'm laughing so hard at that one that I'm gonna wake the hubster!

It's the bass guitar accompaniment that really puts it over the top! :D:D:D

I personally don't believe the PM thing is overdone at all...there are ADDers on this forum who may want to have private correspondence with one another via ADDF and I think that should be respected although I reckon there should be a button/option when one can delete a PM if sent to the wrong person...LOL but no I'd keep the PM system in place.

Personally I wish this were an option - PM retrieval option now there is some thing that could really come in handy. It would beat having to sent a second PM titled

OMG IGNORE MY PREVIOUS PM !!!!!

I did not mean the PM system in general: I use that a lot and I like it! I meant the way the delete thing is organised. That you have this box there that says: "Wanna delete this pm? That's OK .. just select 'delete this PM' and then click the 'delete' button."

See what I mean? It is like, when you start a car, you would have to press a switch first and then turn the key .. instead of just turning the key. Or, like when you would have to sing "Ye Green Hills Of Ireland Mine" before ringing someone's doorbell (not necessarily an Irish person's) before that person would come to open it.

It does seem a trifle redundant, doesn't it?

And if there's only one option, is it really an option at all? Unless of course your option is to opt for that option or not ... :p

I do like the other suggestions. ROFL!!! :D

Luthien: And here I thought I couldn't use PMs because that was only a monthly feature for the youngals! So sorry I've missed months of Remote User Delete Option & the Forgetomattron (I need that for all the stuff on my forgot & todo lists).

I'm with RolyPoly ... you're so frikkin hysterical, Luthien!!! :D:D:D

Here's the real culprit at Visitor Message Delete ... can't imagine what a HARD delete must feel like ... incoming ... and having to justify it to boot then delete it again or cancel it!!:
