Exactly.
In my case, sometimes I use the become a member feature just to test permissions issues at the request of the member, But I never ever open the PT topics unless specifically requested to do so.
And to date I have never been asked to do so.
So even If I use the become a member and I see a message pending I don't open it for two reasons.Well maybe three.
1. It is none of my business.
2. If I open it it will be tagged as read so the user will never be notified they have a pending message when they re visit the site.
3. They may be talking about me.(LOL)
