I know how DM's dread people airing dirty laundry so here ya go.
Howland i sent a PM
Well I'll be on vacation anyway for two weeks so it really doesn't matter. Thanks for the heads up though.
Firstly, yes, check when a DM is around.
Secondly, don't make assumptions.
Thirdly, this isn't the place to alert DMs to your attmepted contact. IRC PMs or emails are good.
Thanks.
