Ron, about a year a go, a member told me that he had exchanged a PM with another member, and shortly after that, a third member, a busybody, had a phone conversation with him and mentioned the subject of the recent PM. When asked where he heard about the subject, the third member quickly changed the subject. Coincidence? Maybe. But the first member was and remains quite suspicious. Perhaps this is the same person who recently emailed you about the privacy of PMs.

If I wanted to ensure privacy in a message, I wouldn't use a PM. I'd probably pick up the telephone. Yeah, if the NSA wants to monitor your conversation, I guess they will.

It's a good thing I'm not into the "cloak-and-dagger" thing. I don't really care who reads my PMs.
