Don't reveal online another poster's phone number, address, or other information that the person hasn't already made public for everyone on Free Republic.

Other information Vade. People send personal mails because they do not want to make the contents public. It's pretty simple and we do not need to turn this matter into a thread, we just need to not do it again.

People send personal mails because they do not want to make the contents public.

But once you send it, it's a matter of the recipient's discretion, not forum rules, what happens from there. This is the normal understanding and you'd better know this before you hit "send."
