in reply to RFE against certain Humiliating situations

I doubt this functionality will be changed any time soon, but it's a risk we live with. Remember, private chatrooms are only private if no one decides to turn their attention your way. If you want privacy, stay off the Web. (Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's true).

That being said, I was once horribly humiliated by a private message gone astray when a girlfriend was in a chat room with me. I feel your pain.

And no, I won't tell you what was said :)

Cheers,
Ovid
