I must admit, I am pretty average here at answering any PM's let alone seeing them - this BBS is one of the only ones I frequent that does NOT pop up with a "new private message" pop up when you refresh a page etc. I have gone weeks without even checking my inbox here, mainly due to being used to being told there was a message.
Ron, sometimes it is more appropriate not to answer than to answer with what may cause more issue. Detente, per se

OR even dog chasing it's tail. It was wiser to leave the entire thread as-was, seeing it was going nowhere fast.
