1. We changed the phrase Private to Personal where needed to stop wrong thinking

2. Our rules say we can look, we don't hide it (we look, very rarely)

3. To think that someone won't look is dumb
-- once anything is on the web someone you don't expect will see it.
vB has a admin tool that lets admin's see PMs

Why look?
We have had some cases of disputes between members and needed to see the correspondence.
There are other legit reasons for an admin to look, and some admins might look without reason.
The reality is most of us are too busy to bother, just saying that it can and will happen.
