How long does it take for a private message to be passed on and does mumsnet always pass them on?

I used cat two days ago I think, and the person I sent the message to hasn't received it, (they have since emailed me)
Why would that be?
We have both paid our £5.00, I would hope that means a private message would be received.

Hello northernrefugee39,
No idea why this mail didn't go through - we have certainly sent them on. Best for you both to check your registration details, deleted folder etc.

Absolutely nothing to do with Steiner. In fact I passed on a load on the other night from the woman who's doing the report/investigation into Steiner.

(So put that put that conspiracy theory down right now!)

We would only not send on if a CAT broke our usual rules ie personal attack, obscene, spamming etc.

Well, as we've explained till we're somewhat blue in the face NorthernRefugee we can't risk leaving stuff up in the face of legal threats (and the age of the person(s) making the threat is not strictly relevant). Truth is a defence in a libel action but:
a) we don't know who's telling the truth
b) it can cost an awful lot in time and money to get to the point of proving it either way
(As you know we have some experience of this).

Judging from this post and much of your other correspondence you clearly think that Mumsnet is not a place for "advice, support and free speech". I'm sorry about that and obviously we disagree but it does kind of beg the question of why you're still here pursuing this particular battle? That's not to say that you, personally, are not welcome but as we've said before we aren't going to get sucked into the Steiner vortex and risk the whole of Mumsnet in the process.

ilovemydog we passed the CATs on - latest post was in response to NR's comments about our actions on the Steiner threads

MumofMonsters - well yes, that's the point I think. Although tbh we only skim them for hairy truckerness - very often we'll only read the first few words and send on...
