Sometimes I get PMs with very helpful hints included.

But after 30 days of inactivity the message gets removed.

I would like to have an option to mark some messages and prevent them from removing.

I totally support that idea. I have some old PMs that would be very useful to quote today when discussing in private with users saying they NEVER changed their mind.

A bit off-topic, but isn't it lost time to discuss with someone, who says he will never change his mind?! 

If going into a discussion with the opinion "I never will change my mind", I will ony fight to dictate the others my opinion and not discussing a problem.

Not really, if that other person turns out to be right in the end  If he/she is then able to convince you that his/her opinion is right and yours is wrong, it's no loss of time, quite the contrary.

Sorry for my OT too...

Oh please....

I understand your frustration, but does it really have to spill over into every single thread on this forum.

Not bad, thanks. Thought about copying in a word or notepad doc, but your suggestion is better.

But having it at the website, where I need it most time, would be the user-friendliest option.

That is not what I said. Recently, a user said me that in the past he told me that things were white (not want to be more precise here), and in fact I clearly remember that at that time he said they were black. To remind what was really said may help avoiding bad faith.

But such an opinion is only good if his way is correct. Bad chance that this works everytime.

I often wish I had this.

When I try and copy & paste often my computer refuses to let me because of how it is set up. I've tried dozens of times to fix this and have given up.

A tick box (I love tick boxes!) > save would be wonderful.
