Yep, I got one, too.

Anyone go to the website? I'M NOT RECOMMENDING THIS--just curious.

I'm wondering if it's even a semi-legit piano business, or just a phishing front.

Except that he sent me an email, not a PM. But that's a nit; I'm sure that a variation of what you're proposing, Sam, is what happened.

If you go to someone's profile, you can send him/her an e-mail. You won't be given the e-mail address, but you can can send the e-mail through piano world.

You can actually turn this feature off in your preferences, so on some of the profiles there isn't an e-mail link. But on your profile, Nina, there is a link that says, "E-mail this member."

Right. That's how mine came through--not a PM but an email.

But my point, feeble though it is, is that it's not necessarily a given that Ronald has everyone's email addies, even though we got messages in our inboxes.

Right, he could have just picked random names of the list, or he could have gone through recent threads to see which members are currently active.

I was responding to the (unlikely) suggestion that PW had sold a list of member names / e-mail adresses to an advertiser.

I got one too. I think (hope) he just individually sent PMs to everybody.

However, the Piano Forum has gone totally downhill. Here is my "grand piano search" thread which got completely and intentionally hijacked by some salespuppets. The "moderators" didn't delete this activity even after I sent my first ever complaint about a post. apple and I tried to deal with them, but we didn't have the time the last two days. Here it is:

http://www.pianoworld.com/ubb/ubb/ultimate...ic/1/12740.html

This might be a case where Jolly's and JB's good points could come to the fore. Innocent people still go there looking for piano advice. I (and maybe apple, if she wants to bother) will reply to them soon.

I almost never go to the Piano Forum, so I wouldn't know about the attitude there.

But the Pianist Corner is really great. Very friendly, and there are lots of people there eager to discuss various topics and give lots of advice and encouragement.

(Have you seen the threads where people announce that they have an audition coming up, or they just got accepted to a music school, etc? At least an entire page or two of "Good luck!" or "Congratulations!" :D)
