Are private messages really private, or can TPTB read them?
A bit of a general statement about computing: Technically, the administrators of a computing system can read anything on that computing system. So, while it is not a policy of DCO to go through people’s private messages, one should always use discretion when sending messages through any computing system. This advice is not specific to DCO, nor meant to imply anything about it. It is meant as generally good advice.
