Hey, Facebook confuses me sometimes. This may sound like a dumb question, but it seems like an awful lot of stuff on facebook is still public, even if you have your profile set to private. Like it still shows "so and so commented on Jane Doe's picture" and then you see their picture even though they're not your friend just because one of your friends commented on it. My question is...
If you send somebody a message (not a wall post), is there any way somebody else could see it, or is it totally private, and just you and the person receiving the message can see it? I would think it would be private, but sometimes Facebook is creepy like that. Please help! Thanks to everyone who responds :)
