Hi Linda,
to access your private messages, you should 'Sign In' first! then, look for 'private messages' icon on the top right corner of the web site, just below your name, and click on it! finally, click on 'Inbox' once you see can all your private messages listed. it is very easy.
I do not have other Linda's email address and I would not-- nor could -- give it out even if I had it! She would have to give me her permission first before I could give her email address to you or anyone else, which I do not have anyway! I will however send you copies of my previous private messages to your Gmail address. Take care.Bye.Amir
