Hey Coach,
This is 1 of those times where it might be taken the wrong way since you can't see the expression on the face of the person postingBut I can see how you would be right.
I personally don't mind getting a IM from someone I don't know. Since I do read all the posts here and VMag I've gotten pretty use to seeing the names. So if someone from here or VMag was to IM me I would probably know who. Feel free to IM so could anyone else. I have gotten the chance to IM a couple of people on here. It came in real handy when we were setting up the Northeast Mohegan Sun Meet in CT.
