Woah - why the harsh tone? I'm just saying there are plenty of highly fair and legitimate reasons why a fresh user would like or need to PM another. I never insinuated that the minimum post count before PM becomes available shouldn't be there - I'm sure it wards off more would-be abuse cases (spam etc) than fair-use cases blocked (TL;DR Pros outweigh cons). Its just not without fallacies, as it might lead to some new users posting an adult handful of "filler posts" just to meet the quota for PM. Its poor forum etiquette, but it does happen.
