I have no way of being sure, but having watched how Tim and the Moderators operate, I'd be very surprised if Tim went through anyone's PMs unless there had been some issues between that member and the other Mods or other members or unless there had been some violation noticed. I really think he has better / other things to do than randomly kick back and read our PMs. There had to be a reason otherwise he wouldn't have wasted his time... just my take. Any more than you'd waste your time trying to track down a problem or check out a problematic member if you hadn't seen or gotten a report of a problem beforehand.
