I agree, I mean who cares if someone knows WHO I sent a PM to? You can't see what the content of the PM is now can you? Like it has been stated before everytime you surf the web, or even send a PM, it is vulnerable (maybe not the best word to use) to other users to see what it is you are looking at or sending.

Not everyone can see this more than likely, but it still does have the chance of a moderator, or a savvy hacker seeing your info.

Bottom line - The internet is not "secure" in all places so beware of what you view, or in this case post, or PM someone.
