It's actually a "personal message" and if you send something to someone, particularly unsolicited, you shouldn't start with an expectation of absolute privacy for a number of reasons, some of which don't even depend on the recipient (for example PMs often get forwarded to e-mail, so there's that).
Damnit, I guess I'm wearing the dunce cap for the remainder of the morning.
But, my disagreeable side wants to argue that even the phrase "personal message," while not directly implying
privacy, the implicity of such should be regarded, if for no other reason than the demonstration of respectable behavior.
I don't think I sent him any of my secret world domination plans.
I was under the impression that a Jedi craves not these things.
