A big issue i find with PM is that if you do not hit Quote Reply you lose the history of your negotiation. Especially on mobile phones it is kind of inconvenient to have to go back to the messages area and bring up an old message to see where you are at.
Another issue is some people replying above, while others reply below the text. It means it can be hard to follow.
Maybe we need PM rules..
1) Always hit Quote Reply
2) Type below the body of text so that it follows a logical progression
3) Jump on Messenger (if you can) to really get into the meat of a negotiation
Obviously some GMs will use PM exclusively for a variety or reasons but this may help make things smoother.
