Fred has explained on many occasions that not having PM's allows for information that would otherwise be concealed between two people can be shared with a much larger audience.
The idea is to post good info, that can help your buddy who you'd just as soon PM, and also help/inform many other members and visitors.
Many of our present threads are filled with "I'm bored so I thought I'd post" and also back-to-back postings between two members. In essence, you talk like you're PM-ing anyways. AIM has always been available as long as I've been here.. and it works just fine..
