I think it stems from this: if you go onto someone's profile, there is immediately a text box to submit a status/public message on their feed. I can only think a lot of people don't read the labelling and assume it's a private message.
A case of strange website design choice, tbh. Not sure when/why you'd need to post a public message from someone else's profile..

Thanks so much, @AinsleyWalker !  Yeah, that seems to make sense, and probably explains a lot of this. It did my head in, but I think I can now leave it be. Yeah, strange website design. Maybe there is an explanation for it. Thanks!  Bert

I miss the good old days on the older BC forum.

@Les would report on the post-gig feast on the band's way home of a weekend.  He would include a photo with the report.  We've lost that because of an "upgrade" a few years ago.  Weekends are just not the same.

It was fun to follow the band's gastronomic adventures in finding food outlets after hours.  It was helpful too.  Every one knows that Wigan is the "centre of the known universe".  Les's reviews could be of great value to musicians travelling through.

Now... where did I leave my tin of phonograph needles? I want to play my 78s.
