Svejk,
I was not saying that I thought it should be allowed to contiue as such. I was merely pointing out, that I thought that the deletion was being done by a program, and not by a human person. Therefore, feeling that until the bug is resolved by IHub, there might be a tad less apprehension about the PM's in general.
Using your example of FedEx, messing with your private stuff. I can give an example where I agree that fedex would be out of line...and I can give an example of where Fedex and the USPostal service do it all the time.
If Fedex opens my package and reveals it contents to other......that would be a NO-NO.
On the other hand....if FedEx or the US Postal Service alter my package by computer generating another address label or bar coding my package, have they invaded my privacy??? I think not, they do it all the time. They have changed what I was sending, but they have not violated the contents. I see a computer generated bar code, address label or +4 zip code being added as similar to a computer deleting words programmed into the system as unacceptable.
Would it be different in your opinion if IHUB stated somewhere in the TOU that the system is programmed to XXXX-out profanity on the site, no matter where it is found.....publicly or privately. I would think that being a private site, it is within the "rights" of the site administrators to program their site to do such actions.
Of course there is one simple solution.....for those in the know, about this happening.....if you don't use profanity, your message will be uncompromised. That is assuming that one views their PM's as compromised if the program xxxx's out profanity.
just a few thoughts.....(it is good to toss around a variety of ideas...provided we do it with out reducing ourselves to using profanity or name calling!!! <smiles>)
