Off Topic: Does the "send email" function work?

[Dmitry]

Apologies for the o-t post.
To contact other members, does the Email function via the forum work, or should we rely on the PMs?

[Rick]

It should if the person you're trying to contact has selected to receive emails.

Thank you!

I think PMs are more reliable (for the reason Rick noted). Sometimes people don't see the notice that they have a PM, or choose to ignore it.
