Recently, I've learned I must be underutilizing the PM feature.

Buffy, please do not count incoming PMs requesting pictures, to keep the poll as a level playing field.

Unless you never delete your PMs, would you really be able to get at this number, assuming you were flooded with PMs all the time?
(I'm guess-timating that I haven't hit the 100-mark yet, so it's not an issue for me - just wondering if that stat was actually tracked by the software)

It may require an actuarial estimate. If you don't delete messages, look at the oldest one to see how long it took to get your most recent 100. That's an upper bound. If it's close to a breakpoint, guess that your fastest is a category faster.

If you do delete messages, guess. No one else will know. Don't be afraid to make it an honest guess: Glenn is not planning to increase Site Supporter fees for those who PM a lot (I hope!)
