    I demand that "private messages" be changed to "not-so-private messages," since the current name is obviously a blatant lie.

    I've seen some IM conversations I'd rather not. Do you people honestly think we WANT to read your PMs? Seriously.

    They're private as in toilet - someone can still barge in on you

    Change them to queries like on IRC.

    Someone can overhear you if you're whispering in a quiet room, but are they?

    You should only believe that if you're paranoid.

    (Besides, they're too busy reading their own PMs to read anyone else's. I mean, RSL is totally covered, yams is too lazy, and munty is a robot and doesn't care about human affairs. That just leaves the others.)

    The people who own LiveJournal can read all your entries including private ones. Some pervert at AOL could be sitting there listening to your AIM conversations. Someone at Yahoo could be printing your emails and passing them out to co-workers for amusement.

    Only if you use those services though. No one forces you to use them. Someone at the Post Office could be reading your mail too, after all. Someone could be hiding outside your window right now.

    I read Amanda's Private Messages one time, but she was cool. Pretty good reading, too.

    The post office stole my livesaver. I haven't been pleased with them since.

    I don't even know how to do SQL queries (and I don't think I have access to that anyway). So I myself cannot read your PMs, even if I wanted to.

    Please just trust that we aren't reading your PMs. We certainly have better things to do with our time.

    Only if they are literate.

    It's pretty simple...

    Number of admins: 8
    Number of admins who can execute SQL queries in the forums: 5
    Number of admins who have abused this privledge to wrongfully invade privacy: 0

    Who are the three who aren't trusted enough?

    Obviously Samur Aid isn't one, or he wouldn't be gloating about it.
