The first time I PM'd myself was probably 2006.

Is anyone other than me slightly terrified at the notion that someone else has access to and is reading your pm's?

Let's say you have just clicked "view submitted message" and thought of something else that you want to add after you've already submitted your PM. Rather than going through the rigmarole of re-clicking user X's name and composing another PM, you click "reply" underneath the displayed message that you just submitted. Immediately, a new popup will come saying that you have a new PM, and you think "well that was fast", but then you see that you PM'd yourself.

I don't know, but it's in the back of my head every time I am in my pm box.

From my limited experience modding Furious! it seemed like the only way for a mod or admin to read your PMs would be to log in to your account. The only way they can do that is to change your password to something else so they can use it to log in. But if they did that they'd never know what to change your password back to so you'd know something was up when you couldn't log in.

Ever accidentally mean to send a pm, only to have clicked the reply button and make it a public post instead?

I've never gone so far as to hit submit with that mistake.
