On the POG site there is/are boxes to check to receive email motification of, well something like what happened in the recent past on the site. Each member could opt in or opt out. I am sure many if not most members received the message and just took it as a mater of fact.
Please note:
This action will also remove this member from your connections and send a report to the site admin.
Please allow a few minutes for this process to complete.
