I couldn't help butting in about your comment on the Mycological Restoration page. I am on the webteam for the site.
If you want to send a private message to one individual, the best way is to go to the Members page and search for them. Then you can go to their personal page and comment.
For following comments on a Group page, you can check under the Comment box to see that you've clicked on "Follow - Email me when people comment" . If you have - it should say "Stop Following - Don't email me when people comment."
I'd love to know if that solves the problem.

Laura J Sellens said… - Hi there,
I think I sent you a message with the price and tariff information for the oil press but now I can't find it so apologies if this is the first you're seeing of this. This is a friendly harassment to please confirm a final yes or no regarding the oil press group order to my email address laurasellens@gmail.com. We have more than 8 confirmed which means your grand total will be $91.89 USD or real close to that depending on the exchange rate on the day I place the order. If you say yes, I’ll send you my address so you can send me a check.
Thank you,
Laura Sellens
