This is why I sometimes make a post within the thread rather then PM.
If you create a post:
1. It allows others to see that the problem has been addressed.
2. If they continue to be lazy then people will start ignoring them.
3. It is a reminder to others that might make similar "mistakes".
PM's can work for some instances. However, if I see the same thing multiple times on CD(even if it's different users) I create a post. I know that some might not agree with this method, but I find it to be relatively effective.
