'Private Messages' notice...

Moderators have no access to another user's private messages, therefore we cannot intervene in private message disputes, as we cannot verify one way or another what is being said is true.

As for revealing the contents of private messages publicly, that is not breaching forum rules. However, just because it's breaking no rules, doesn't mean it gets a moral 'thumbs up' from the moderating team.

Private messages are named as such because they are private correspondence between two individuals, and generally, unless agreed otherwise, neither party should reveal the contents to others. This, however, is entirely up to the individuals involved, and I imagine they will be judged by others based on this.

"There are four ways to spend money. A) You can spend your money on yourself, in which case you will strive for a mix of the best bargain and the best quality. B) You can spend your money on someone else, in which case you are still interested in a bargain, but the quality of the product or service becomes secondary. C) You can spend other people's money on yourself, in which case price is no object but quality becomes a great concern. D) Finally, you can spend other people's money on other people, in which case neither price nor quality is of great concern."
