No, I always select the N option after writing a message in MM so it can
be seen by everyone reading the echo, whether they want to read it or not.

AFAITIK* messages in BBS echos aren't Private messages, my thinking may be
wrong, a SysOp may have a 'Private Message' Setting option on their BBS.

I think it was on Tom Currie's The Volunteer BBS on GTPower Net that I
saw a Log On message that said something like: "Messages on that BBS Are
Not Private", and since I read that I always thought everyone sees all
echo messages.

I read that in the late 1980's or early 1990's.

I used GTPower BBS Netmail a few times and thought those might be
private messages since (I think) they came in a Netmail Echo instead of
a message echo.

The first time someone sent a Netmail to me it suprised me and made my
Eye Brows raise up slightly.

I haven't sent Netmail through the BBS I use now.

I'm in the Midwest also - Indiana.
The Kroger Co. owns the Jay-C Grocery's.
Jay-C on Tuesdays have a 5 Per Cent Senior Discount.

Kroger doesn't have a Senior Discount day any more, I can't remember how
long ago it was that they ended that program.

Both Stores Weekly Ads are printed with just about the same items and Price$
on every page.
