If you insist upon communicating via PM, I'm sure that one will contact you before too long. Why not just post your question here, though?
 
He would be better off asking his question in the thread, I'm not interested in communicating through PM's. The purpose of a forum like this is getting many responses from many people.
 
I will not communicate through PM either. Don't come to a public forum if you don't want your conversation public as well.
