zilberbrand, I agree, and trust me, I happen to be one of those folks that spends a great deal of time on the forum. The challenge is that very often when a great tip is posted, it almost always gets removed within minutes due to requests, leaving PM as the only other way to get such information. And to reiterate, there is no denial of the value secured in reading such threads in entirety. The PM that is sought is not to replace it.
