I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up to No Good

We've been thinking about what would happen if any of us do an 'I Solemnly Swear' comment to a private message post. Don't know for absolutely sure, but we do think that the safeguards we've been using up until now will still continue to protect what we write, as long as you use the protocol we've been using. At the very least, the age charm protection would keep anyone from the MLE from being able to read anything you might write under the lock. Don't think they're allowed by law to hire anyone under the age of seventeen.

On the other hand, we have a hunch that the Ministry will be particularly paying attention to which people are nattering away an awful lot in private messages. It's like writing a big sign and sticking it to your back that says, 'Hullo! Over here! Yeah, I'm writing about a lot of dodgy stuff that I don't want other people to know!' So if you don't want to particularly draw their attention that way, you might consider that bit of friendly advice.
