    As long as you don't announce your secret plans to destroy something you should be fine. Even people with a very minimal education know better than to post Emails and personal details, so you're all good.

  3. "I have no quarrels with this. Nor the "Spying" non sense."

    I agree with this. No way to stop it really unless you want to avoid all electronic devices.

    "You have more to worry about with your cell phone than you do with Xbox Live."

    Depends. If I was using Live for certain types of communications then it would be more of a worry than my phone if I was not using it for that. They all have about the same level of "worry" attached to them if you want to worry. But you would have to
    be a total idiot to put anything illegal in a digital message if you were so inclined to do illegal things.

    "Everything is tracked in every aspect of your life for a variety of security reasons."

    And another true statement. People can be upset at the U.S. government but they are not the only ones. And that means they actually need to do this to stay on top of things. This information could provide others with a huge advantage if they did not have
    it. I am not for it but that is how it is. I can easily obtain peoples information in ways that most would try to tell you cannot be done. And there are so many others that can as well. So, if you do not want them to have your information or some other
    thing like a picture do not put it out there digitally.

    One thing I do a lot is put false information and use it. Not illegally mind you. And you can see the tracking because they have this information even though it is not supposedly saved. I click links that I would not ever view and then amazingly get emails
    about it and similar stuff. How did they get my email without me putting it in? Easy, they track. I viewed some items, well not literally as I just clicked them and quickly went on, and sure enough emails in a few days from places with those types of products.
    Hair regrowth (do not need), male enhancement (do not need), women's toys (do not need), and many other things. I never actually viewed them. Just clicked and then left before they loaded.

    This is all because every single thing is tracked. And even I can get the information. A friend of mine who is an idiot (not saying unintelligent) get information like this all the time. You many be shocked by the information he has compiled. And, well,
    he sells it. Makes good money doing this. He has names, addresses, viewing habits, spending habits, hobbies, and some other things I am thinking he should not have. They arrested him once but could not find it because of the way he hides it. Which was
    actually shocking to me as I was sure they would find it actually.

    Really, I would have very little concern about MS and Live. I would be more concerned about a lot of web sites, retailers, and things like that.

    Ya Playstation has been doing the threaded messages since launch. You can still delete them it's not really any different then before. But like was mentioned Microsoft has always been able to pull up your message history

    But who cares just don't get involved in terrorism and you'll be fine. Other then that they don't care what your saying in a personal text unless the person who receives it flags it.

    Threaded messages should have been since the beginning when messages started. I am guessing XBOX 360. Was there messaging with the original XBOX? Can't believe it has taken MS this long to implement it.

    *Puts on tin foil hat*

    MS is the devil. I knew they were watching me through that Kinect thing, and now they are watching my messages. I am going to build my bunker and live my life peacefully without MicroSpy!

    *Takes off tin foil hat*

    Oh no MS is tracking your messages. I am not honestly seeing an issue with threaded messages. And have to wonder why GG does. I also have to wonder why you are sending such personal messages via XBL. I also have to wonder if privacy is a concern do you use
    a throwaway email address for your MS account. I also have to wonder if you have a Credit Card linked to your profile, what if MS gets hacked and that info leaks? I also have to wonder if you use your real name on your MS account. I also have to wonder why
    I commented on this silly thread. And lastly I wonder if you wrap yourself in tinfoil and walk around town fearing radio waves, and aliens
