I remember buying a Dwarven sword at a store in Riften, only to walk out and of a courier come and tell me that Dwemer expert in Markath heard I bought a Dwarven sword and wanted one.

People, please. The answer is really quite obvious. Couriers stick to the roads when delivering messages. So do bandits. It's easy to add two and two and get a half-dead carrier with just underpants and your message.

And now because you read this, each of you will wonder where he hid that message before you took it with your bare hands.

Haven't seen this, darn it.
