Messenger queries

If two people are chatting in Live Messenger, can one of them invite someone
else into the conversation without the permission of the other? (ie to
'watch' the conversation but not say anything).

Also, can anybody see my personal message even if they are not in my contact
list?

Greetings Netty,

Yes, anyone in the conversation can invite someone else.

However, no one will see your PSM except those in your contact list and/or if someone goes to
your Live profile web page and you have the Live profile permissions setup to allow everyone
to see it. It's not directly easy to access this page (you can't just guess at the URL), but
you can see it by going to http://profile.live.com and signing in with your Live ID to set
that up.
