Thousands of people read these public forums. It isn't necessary to do a public announcement to notify that a private communication was made. The receiver of the message has the option to be notified via email of such messages and, optionally, have a popup dialog appear as they login. While I understand the desire for people to initiate their conversations with a PM "head's up", the need for follow-up posts for an on-going private dialog is excessive.
