Please forward that PM to me via the PM system. I will be happy to deal with it.

Edit: I cannot find a user by that name in the system

I received this email message via the forum hours ago and promptly contacted Wayne, he replied and informed me that he had also received the message and that it had been dealt with. If you cannot find the user I assume he has "nuked" them?

It was an email through RR.com, not a PM. But, I think it has been handled, too.

Yes it was an email through RR.com but it came via the forums "send message via email to xxxxx" which can be found on user profile pages. This is an alternate contact method that the forum allows for users to communicate to each other and is completely separate to the private messaging system.

So far it would appear that only selected staff got the special offer!!

It's being handled.
