If we made our delegate public and allowed subscribers to add methods to our delegates invocation list, they would be able to receive notifications. However they would also be able to do something like the following: MessageLogger = null; In one misused line of code, our delegate has been wiped out along with it's invocation list and any link to subscribers has been lost.
