Hi Morgan

I'm pretty sure WS message access isn't allowed because if it were, anyone could build their own local database and bypass the message search restriction currently in place for non-PUTM.

If that's not the entire reason, it's surely at least part of it. (And, IMO, he's justified in doing it this way.)

I just don't have time to keep a browser open and see when new messages are posted. Therefore, I'm writing a windows application to place in my Taskbar to inform me when new messages are in the forum that I'm interested in.
