I call bullshit on this thread. An alert should be something for all of to see and not just the guys. Move it to the locker room if that's what its going to be.
At the risk of sounding like a white knight......I gotta agree with the ladies. If a legit alert (which it wasn't) then everyone should know. If private talk between us guys...then the guys forum or review forums where appropriate.
This thread is kinda like two guys on a bus whispering to each other and pointing at the other people on the bus. Doesn't look very "sophisticated."
