Good advice. There seem to be quite a few of us from Illinois on here.

Maybe He's Asking "Experienced" Members ???

I got the message too.

Gave the poster my two cents.

For what it's worth, Larks was also on my PM.

If I had to guess, I doubt it's spam based on my PM...but I could be wrong.

I didn't reply, but only cause I didn't have time. I would've replied that he can get a better range of answers by posting on the public forum.

The only evidence is that seemingly the exact same message was sent to multiple people at roughly the same time by a user with zero posts, when it would have been much easier to simply post in the forum. That smells to me like an automated process.

Not definitive, by any means, but very suspicious to me.

Obviously not just the "esteemed" members....I got it as well. See no reason not to try and help out. Any way he is targeting "veteran" refs??

Inquiring minds want to know......
So, now that several of you have replied - anyone get a thank you or comments back from your reply?

Excellent question. I'm betting no one has.
