    I've taken it out of their hands. I've turned off PM's.

    Any future private info and conversations will be done via email. :shrug:

    I voted yes if I am asked permission and I think the reasons are justifiable, but that only goes for Elwood. I wouldn't trust anyone else reading through them. However, he should realize that he is probably going to see more of my bewbies than he ever bargained for. :lol:

    Pardon me if this is stating the obvious, but if you don't want your PMs to be read, DON'T SAVE THEM. :doh:

    PM's that have been deleted are still stored in the database, ready to be retrieved by anyone with the tech know-how to do so. The claim that this is only partially true is false. They're there.

    The only real solution is to abandon PM's and use private email.

    For what it's worth, I voted "No". While I kinda trust Elwood, I do not trust Tamar

    I voted yes, but only with my permission. Nothing really incriminating in my PM box. Just a bunch of back-and-forth PMs of me trying to get warnings overturned, plus various posters bitching about God knows what.


    Jenna was probably lying.
