I finally found a way to reset everybody's  accounts, and so everybody can now use their Private Message feature. (This feature used to be called U2U).

Sorry about any inconvenience. If you have any more troubles or questions, just let me know.

And thanks Danny for the kind thoughts. I hope everybody out there takes a little time to think safety when they are using these great machines that we love so much.  Don't let the object of your affection be your undoing.
