Hi Gang- Happy New Year but this message I got from the FM Forum really bothers me. Perhaps it’s my 75 years and a crotchety disposition, but I don’t think so.
Several days ago I sent a PM to Curtis wishing him the seasons greetings and included a recap of the year 2021 which took Robin and I to twenty states. In that message I included the words “ Family and Friends,” a term usually included in Holiday greetings among “Family and Friends.”
Well either the FM BOT needs further programming or if a person perhaps a decent cup of coffee. I do find the FM’s monitoring of private messages in the name of commerce or whatever good deed they think they’re performing is disturbing.
Here’s their message to me:
