Hey Mark,

The admin feature of posting removal is not active in the " Discussion Forum " area of the group page as it once was. The only options available are 1) Display Titles Only 2) From, Most Replies, Latest Activity, ect. 3) Show 1 - 20 items.
I would like to remove a posting which I feel is more appropriate for the " Comment Wall " area of group page. Can you help me out here? Thanks

Justin

P.S. I was unable to email you directly from my mail area...pressed send several times...refreshed paged...logged out....logged in... still did not function.

Hi,
I am looking for some tennis in the ABQ area. I will be visiting for two weeks starting on the 25th and then relocating in late July. I am relatively competitive player, 4.5, teaching pro, etc... I have been injured and haven't played as competively as I'd prefer. So I am wishing to change that. Would you be interested in playing?

That would be PERFECT. I am unfamiliar with the ABQ tennis area. I am willing to travel, have a VERY flexible schedule, and am always looking to play. I arrive on the 25th, and will be ready to play anytime on the 26th and beyond.

Thank you for the welcome message. I have tried to search a partner of my beginner ability and my older age group but I cannot find any type of search tool I found a Seattle and Greenlake Group that would be convenient for me but I am now at a loss of how to move forward. Thank you.

Hi. Great site. Is there a city-specific forum for people in certain cities to find eachother? Or is there just one forum? Is there some other way to find potential partners in Albuquerque besides the forums? Thanks.

Mark, The WinSock is featured in use in Oscar Wegner's new video. He has endorsed it and sells them on his website. I just remembered the message you sent about me posting a video of someone using the WinSock and wanted to holler at you. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Did you see the latest issue of Tennis magazine? They talk about several tennis dating sites. I used to run a personals magazine and was a webmaster, do you have any interest in making this more of a dating site with revenue thru dues or google adwords?

Hey there Mark.
I contacted you earlier this year about my blog that I was going to start. Well now it is here and I have been working on it for around 10 days now, I have 100+ readers everyday and I have just gotten to interview Nick Bollettieri, his answers will be posted on my blog tomorrow or the day after. I also got to interview an old ATP pro from USA. There are lots of interesting things going on there, please add me on facebook search for: Reibin Amin, the one with the tennispicture, thats me.

We were discussing if we could partner up somehow but you wanted me to blog on tennisopolis and I recall that you weren't interested in any other proposal that I had?

Anyway check my blog out and get back to me! Perhaps we can advertise for each others websites somehow. I think it could be great for both our sites.

When someone leaves a comment for myself, I get an email letting me know this. When I log on to see what it is, I cannot access it. I see that " lux has left a comment for Brodyluv" but not one link takes me there. Am I missing something?

Thanks Mark for my first message :) .. The Cardschat site people is a very knowledgeable community and after 50 or 60 posts (I can't remember how many) you are eligible to play in their private freerolls on various sites. Just make sure your first 50 or 60 posts are not short or they will consider it spam... They are very strict with the rules their lol.. I play on pokerstars under the name (istan).. Thanks for introducing yourself and I will enjoy using this site a little more in the future ..

Happy Holidays
