Rookie...
Agoracom also has a private messaging system. I sent you one the other day but you may not have realized it. When you look at the top right where it says My Agoracom, if you see a little envelope there, it means you have mail! Click on the envelope to read it. You can also go look at any past mail received or sent by clicking on My Agoracom and then look at the menu on the left side of your profile page - look under Messages.
Cheers!
