For what it's worth:
Yes; Homeland Security, the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, and your boss who's an expert hacker may indeed be reading the PMs members share here at MobileRead; but here's one group that isn't reading them: the Moderation Team. There are only 3 ways that a moderator can and/or will read your PMs: (1) The PM is addressed to the moderator, either directly or via closed copy; (2) the PM has been forwarded to the moderator by the recipient; or (3) the PM has been reported to the Moderation Team by the recipient. Otherwise, whenever people communicate via PM, we have no idea what's being said. We don't snoop, nor do we even have the capability to snoop on people's private conversations. If people are receiving spam PMs and report them, we act. If people are receiving harassing or threatening PMs and report them, we act. Otherwise, Private Messages are just that: PRIVATE.
