This looks very much like a clique between two old telecomforum senior menbers!
Why can't the additional information be shared with us all petkow?
Maybe because it was intended as a
personal message, and not a public message which would be of no interest to anybody else! I shouldn't have stated that I had sent one here. I only did so as he had missed one from me once a long time ago.
Not that I feel obliged to justify my decisions to you or anybody else, but as I am still new here, and as some users (or their aliases) still seem to carry some grudges (for whatever reason), I will do so this time in order to cut any antagonistic feelings and satisfy your curiosity. ... As curiosity, you know, is a dangerous thing!
So if you really must know, it's because the content was better in a PM, as it would be quite pointless here. That was my judgement, which I believe was a good one! All I did in the PM was to suggest that in order to get an answer to his question (which nobody here seems to be able to do) he could email somebody that he and I know from elsewhere. The person has a higher-than-average knowledge in this particular area of 3G Modems and their specs. It would be absolutely pointless announcing that here, as that person would unlikely reply to a person from here who he does not know.
Believe me, as you probably can tell from the content of my posts, if I have something to tell publicly, I will always do so. I have no secrets to hide. Also, if you really must know, the PM I sent Andy was perhaps the first private correspondence (PM/email etc.) that we have exchanged in the last 12 months! I very rarely have the specific need to send PM's, as I feel I can always target more readers with a post.. (even if it is personalised one like this one). However, I will always reply to any PM that is sent to me. Also if you really must know, I would hazard a guess to say that 90% of PM's that I have ever received on any forum that I participate in, have come from Mobaholic here.
