I'm not concerned that the admins might be able to access PMs, and I personally trust Dave, but if I were concerned I'd be seriously gullible to accept at face value someone who I might worry about having access saying they don't.
(b) It's too freaking involved
Pro tip: use a computer for complicated stuff.

One has to learn to use the computer, and if Dave hasn't found the motivation in the last 10 years, he's not going to over some random person's private messages. ;)

That's easy to say - but there's a learning curve.

I am fairly sure Dave has figured how to Google by now :)

That's just a means to get the knowledge, but there are a few other steps required - such as knowing what knowledge you need, learning it, understanding it and then applying it to the problem at hand. You then have to understand the database - but I daresay the design document won't be available, so that makes it challenging - and build a program that will pull everything together in a straightforward presentation of the data.
... and this is not taking into consideration ANY of the abnormal conditions that a GOOD piece of software will cope with.
I just can't see Dave jumping into that abyss any time soon.
I get the feeling you've never written any mission critical software.
