One example would be "Welcome to SP!" If I write that on their profile photo, it's going to be buried. And to me, PMing something like that is awkward and sorta creepy. Private messages certainly serve a purpose, but I think there are times when public messages can serve a purpose as well.
And maybe if some of the hardcore PNPers ever decide to reconcile differences, it would be nice to give them the option of doing so publicly. Maybe it could contribute a sense of goodwill to the whole SP community!
If it would be done, I definitely think it should have an option for the profile owner to delete comments.
