|

I received this email today:

You have received a new private message to your account on "Gentoo Forums" and you have requested that you be notified on this event. You can view your new message by clicking on the following link:

But when I logged in and went there I had no messages

...I checked back hours later just to make sure it wasn't some sort of temporary thing.
Is this common? Or did my secret admirer get cold feet? |

That being a poll question, I vote my doubt: I guess it to be uncommon, though I have several times been notified of posts which had been deleted prior to my checking the presumably containing topic.
