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.

Do you have a blog or a Facebook I can join? Do you like Claver and Converse?

In case you haven't figured it out by now, David has a unique sense of humor. I can assure you, no such thing goes down in regards to private messages.

Mods cannot read private messages. David was never a mod in the first place. He is just having a bit of fun at Ledgie's expenses.

"A Ledgie's expense", I hasten to correct...

Mods do not read private messages- no worries.

a person should not be subjected to public ridicule because they choose to delete a post they perhaps thought better left unsaid. to state what was stated by the MOD was more of a 'nany nany poopoo, i can still see what you wrote' and now everybody knows so. not cool, IMO.

HA, I don't believe that at all. Mods should be able to see private posts in case something bad was happening. No reason to lie!
