I have been a FReeper since Jan. 24, 2000.
For an unexplained reason to me, I cannot post “private replies” since the last one I sent on Oct. 25, 2012.
This is the message I receive: “Sorry, your account is too new to use this feature.”
Also, this message each time I reply to a post (new to me): “Thank you for your contribution. Your comment has been submitted for review.”
