PM etiquette
When I PM another member, I can see all the previous PMs that were sent to that member. Does this not defeat the intent of a private message.
I am not personally bothered by that practice, but I wonder whether that is Ok with everybody else. What does private mean then.

John, I guess I do not know the difference of PM and VM. I noticed it when I thank someone for reps by clicking on his name in the rep.
And I see the messages the member received, not the ones he/she sent. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops

In theory at least it shouldn't matter. You should only post something on VM which you are happy to be publically available, and seen by everyone. If you don't want the whole world to see, you should use the PM feature. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 420
