I'm not 100% sure but I think that once you have a contact with a Hot Match member it will always show as such. Deleting the contact doesn't change the fact that you have been in touch before. |

Hi John, yes 40 is frustrating but the person concerned is a distant rellie who was given her/my/our tree by a one name study, it looks as if she copied it all out faithfully then gave up waiting! She probably packed up long before I joined, which begs the question whether to delete tree when leaving or leave details for posterity? |

With over 8 million members there are probable as many ways of organizing. |

Hot Matches and Contacts are two separate things, and need to be dealt with as such. |

Thanks Reggie. It's amazing how useless and off the mark many 'Hot Matches' are. Not all but most. It's a way of keeping us using the site. |

Hot matches are good and bad.......... I found many distant cousins on this BUT you do get sent a load of illervant stuff to sift through |

Not so long ago I decided to prune my contact lists. Rather than going to inbox to prune and likewise to outbox I went to contacts. I was able to read the odd message there that had been sent or received to make sure I didnt want that contact any more, and I could then delete. Or if I wanted some of the messages I just deleted any unnecessary ones such as 'I have opened my tree'. |

If you delete 'contacts', you should delete all related 'stuff'......but it doesn't necessarily always happen. |
