do you think a talk (private) section would be good?

i do!

so email mates
mn with anonymous strangers

lol mutt alright was only thinking aloud

I think this place works so well because it is huge and it is anonymous and has loads of namechanging.

Don't think you can have it both ways really. There are plenty of privater places, who really can read through all those postnatal etc. threads?

No, it'd be cliquey.

You can CAT people if you want to talk in private.

No no no no no.

MN is public, that's its nature and its strength. If you want private convos then CAT or email or whatever else you use.

NM has a message thing where you can send private messages to one person at a time - like CAT without the middleman...

I found it quite dodgey at times though - people used it to spread gossip and pick on vulnerable posters

Imagine the fun troll hunters would have behind private messages closed doors!
