So to re-ignite a dormant post ...
I get that the existing message thread continues to work even if the "friend" has been deleted.
Here is another question. I am under the 255 limit so I can send a friends message. But will the new friend with 350 friends receive it?
Tom.
I'd guess that it will arrive, as it goes the "message" path once you're able to select the friend and send it.
I imagine that the number limit only concerns the "select friends" part.
And the answer to my question is ...
the WGT member with 357 friends did receive my message. (Still, if I had been at 256 members, I could not have sent it. Also note, old threads always work.)
