I don't know how they convey information. I guess you can PM someone, but how do you know that's correct info? Part of the reason a forum thread succeeds is one guy offers advice and about 8 billion people check and confirm or dispute his logic. This ending at a 100% confirmed answer, a probable answer, or no answer. Of which, the OP can choose to follow or not. If there is no group discussion then I don't see how this works on Faceballs. A wise quote from the bible: "plans fail when there is no consultation. But there is accomplishment through many advisers."
