When somebody post's a response to a question, with "pm me". If that's all your writing, then just pm the guy directly.

Why not? My phone sends me a notification you can get an email and I get a pop up if I reload the page after getting one. Plus you have a counter next to your "my messages"

I almost never use the desktop site.

People who post, or pm about what to write in a sm to chase, in regards to getting matched to another offer, or in a email to a hotel manager on getting upgrades !!! Are people really that dumb, and illiterate that they can't figure out, how to phrase a clear, and appealing  request on their own ?!?!

Its more than asking nicely, its giving them a valid reason to listen to your request. People like knowing what has worked as a valid reason.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

All the info was in the title. If you're complaining that he didn't put it in the post, go to the meta thread.
Besides, why do you care if it's a direct link? I can understand if Dan does, but why do you?

With a bit of a brainpower, it shouldn't be to hard to do. When you want to sm chase to match another offer, your telling me anyone with a bit of intelligence, can't come up with some type of wording, for them to listen.
