BTW, I made a post in 'meta' to discover what access ~davout has or had. Particularly whether he could read my PM's. ~badbear says no.
Can't be bothered to dig it up atm, but I seem to remember Theymos responding to that same inquiry long ago in regards to Mark Karpeles hosting the forums and said that he (Theymos) was the only one able to read PMs. (And Mark, through phpMyAdmin of course, although I don't remember if that was ever admitted).
