I feel as if I should jump in here. I know for certain that all our private messages--filled with insults of other fans, anarchic politics, weird religious & sexual practices, & plain old googooness--are closely read by the Mods.

Years ago, when I was a Mod, we used to set aside a few hours every Sunday for an Adobe Connect session to read the private messages of the prior week. It was a relaxing way to spend a few hours online.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it because it's like counterinsurgency tactics. We live in an age of terrorism, & we must do what we can to prevent future attacks on our trains, airplanes, places of worship, & employment centers.
