>Do you check your PM every hour?! Ok, that scares me some. Plus, how do you know whether I read it or not? Why would anyone want to send a public message saying they sent a private one? Or worse, that they haven't gotten a response? It's just plain weird in my book.

The second someone sends me a private message the loudspeaker says "You have a private message" and the list of PMs in the dashboard to the left is expanded. Is that different in your setup? Anyway, I think it's somewhat inappropriate to continue this off-topic issue in esp. this thread.
