Basecamp Messiness

Basecamp Glitches, originally uploaded by Stowe Boyd.

I set things up so that my buddies at Heights Media Group could see private messages within projects they have access to in Basecamp. However, whenever I create a private post in one of those projects, like here, in the Workstreamr project, Basecamp tells me that ‘only people in my company can see this message.” Uh, wrong.

Wouldn’t it be better to give fine-grained control of visibility, on demand at least. Sometime I might want to post something that only one person could see, for example. But at any rate, they should actually list the people — or companies — that have access to the private post.
