Regarding Old Inbox Messages

Quote from Baron:

If you deleted a past PM from your inbox, then it is most likely gone for good.

No biggie, there was no text in that message other than the subject line. I have enough from this site and other places.
 
Quote from Covertibility:

I'm submitting a few posts on this site to the police and wonder if I can get past inbox messages.

Wild guess here: You've never filed a police report before this, have you?

Complaining to the police about <i>anything</i>, is a mistake you only have to make once. (The lazy pig talks down to you and condescendingly brushes you off like a piece of dirt. Then, you go away frustrated, realizing that you might as well have taken your complaint to one of the <i>other</i> local street gangs, for all the good it did you.)

That was exactly my point, but he didn't get it. But in his case, the police probably would be right. here is the situation:

Whinebaby: I would like to fill a complaint about cyberstalking.

Police: What?

W: Somebody is stalking me with PMs and posts in an online open forum.

P: What would you like us to do about it?

W: Something. Like get the guy arrested or taking away his keyboard. Just do something...

P: Hey Sammy, come here. Here is a dude who is being "cyber" stalked.

Sammy: No shit!

P: Yes. He is getting PMs or what the fuck.

Sammy: No shit! Wait, let's call Jimmy.

P and S: Jimmy!!!!

Jimmy: What's up?

Sammy: Sir, please could you state your business again?

Whinebaby: Er... I wanted to fill a complain but I think I changed my mind.

P and S and J together: Get the fuck out of here!!!!

And the moral of the story is: ...........
 
I swear I haven't read that post before I posted mine. Great minds think alike!! :)

It is actually scary how similar the imaginative conversations are, so let's copy yours here just to make the point even stronger:

Quote from Rearden Metal:

Zten: Officer! *gasps for breath*, I'm here to report a serious crime!

Officer Lazyswine: What is it? A murder? Rape? Somebody enjoy a narcotic high?

Zten: No, there's this guy spydertrader, and he's stalking me!

Officer Lazyswine: Ok, all we can do is issue a tresspass warrant, legally barring him from entering your property or place of business. What's his full name? Physical description?

Zten:Well, I don't know his name, and I've never actually seen him in person. You see, I start threads on this internet message board, and spydertrader comes on and says nasty things to me!

Officer Lazyswine: Get the fuck out of my office.
