For heavens sake - this is PET TALK!! You don't have to feel embaressed to be online. We're all PT addicts, more or less. I'm online all day long, but it doesn't mean I'm here all the time - I come and go, and I'm doing other things on my computer too, but keep PT open.

In general, I think it's only polite to "show your face" when you're on, but I DO understand some have their reasons not to be.

Also, you may want to send someone a PM, but when you see they're "offline" you tend to wait, or not send it at all.

If anyone have problems with getting nasty PM's, you can always contact Karen or Paul.
