Does it go against community standards to inbox so...

Hi, I have thought the same thing many times. There is the option of contacting a member via the "chat" function on each users page. It is in the top right hand corner and once you click on that, a little, itty bitty box will pop up at the lower right side of the page. After typing in your "chat", click on the paper plane to send. Hope this helps,.. Organoman.
