	I have found that they can't always reply to messages on here. I have a free membership and contacted myself. I received the message OK but when I went to reply to it all I got was a message asking me to become a paid member.

	You know it's just occurred to me that if you have a free membership on here it would be a good idea to change your surname to "free member" That way if a paid member contacts you they could leave alternative contact details in their message to you. I've just contacted my cousin once removed on here and as I don't know if she is a paid member I've given her an e-mail addy to contact me.
