I know how DM's dread people airing dirty laundry so here ya go.

DMs do check their PMs regularly when they're not away

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.
