Since I've been around a while, I'm normally able to answer my own questions, but this one still perplexes me ... When texting a lady from OH2; why not PM her first or at the VERY least, include your handle when texting?

I personally like having my number posted for numerous reasons, so I get a good amount of text messages with NO information other then asking if I am available.

I always ignore those messages since my ad says "you must PM before texting".

A good amount of the time after I have ignored the text for a few days, weeks or months, I'll finally receive a PM saying this is ________ from OH2. I texted your from _______.

Why not just say that in your original text?

This board & your handle are here to make connecting & screening easier ... so if you have that information, why not take advantage of it & say who you are from OH2 when texting a provider?

So please gents, when it comes to reaching out to me via text, ALWAYS include your handle.
