>I still think you are plain WRONG and extremely stubborn and/or narrowminded. An analogy: I have ONE mailbox at home, and I check it every day. Do you still expect me to ALSO check every message board in every shop I visit during a week to see if there is any message which is ONLY for me? Please excuse me, but I feel a need to bang my head against my desk.

Tore,

It may be very well the case. Yet, with lots of people I communicated through UT private messages for years and didn't have problems for quite a long period.

Besides, for example, I let my husband read my e-mails. What if I decide to write you something really private?
