Let me take a moment to mention the forum's Private Message system. PM's are completely private and not even the moderators can read them. Many people are not aware of this feature, so I'm using this opportunity to bring them up.
The easiest way to send a PM is to click on a person's name and choose "Send Private Message" from the menu that appears. To read Private Messages, you will see a message at the top of each page of the forum that will say "No new messages," "1 new message," "2 new messages" etc. Click on that link and it will take you to your Inbox where you can read and respond to messages.
When moderators need to communicate privately with a user, the communication will normally take place via PM, and users can also communicate privately with each other. On moderation issues, David and I always share messages so we're both aware of what's going on, but otherwise all PM's are absolutely private.
Some users are not comfortable sharing their email addresses or allowing other users to email them, so the PM system offers a great alternative for private communications.
