Perhaps not seen as polite, but I think that an intrusion, with proper ettiquette( such as excusing for interruption, and asking for pardon) to ask a fleet which was just turned down for a say, Friday 7 pm est match, to see if they would fly vs your fleet. The reason I think it could be acceptable is that if you look at for instance, this thread, there was 2 messages written by the time i looked, and 19 visits to this one. Therefore we all know many of us look at a post, without typing into it. It is hardly a "private matter" when all fleet members registered can look in on any conversation on a "public" forum. So TT, if you feel you are willing to face TSC again, feel free to ask us here, or start a new thread, TSC wont be feeling like you intruded.
