AI Thread Summary
Members may have privacy settings that restrict messaging only to those they follow, which could explain the inability to send messages. If a member previously received messages but now does not, it may indicate they have changed their settings. The global reject messages function suggests that the issue is not personal. It's important to consider these settings when trying to communicate with other members. Understanding these privacy features can help clarify messaging limitations within the platform.

Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
