>Maybe you miss what most people mean with private email. If you send me a PM via UT, I may see it after a month or five. But if you send it to the email address mentioned in my profile, I will read it within a few minutes. PM = xx@yy.zz

Well, for me sending PMs usually easier than finding person's e-mail address and going this route. But as I said, lots of people and you seem to be one of them, don't pay attention to UT private messages.
