Last night, I went over the top in reaction to a post in which part of the contents of a PM were posted on a thread.

I believe a PM is private and should not be discussed in forum. On reflection, and with the explation given, that being,

"If I receive a letter in the mail, or an email, I regard them as my property, at my discretion to make the contents public or not. My choosing to do so is not the same as anyone else trying to hack them. It had never even occurred to me that PMs were supposed to be governed by the same rules as the Secrets of the Confessional, as gnu appears to believe."

it appears that I may be technically wrong, simply "believing" that a PM should remain private.

The questions asked at that point boil down to... whaddya think? (correct me if I am wrong on that part)
