I disagree. There's no such hard and fast rule anywhere. Where, for instance, were your protests upon this earlier outrageous revelation of private correspondence? Where, in fact, were anyone's? There is no such rule.

Ah, I thought that was something that Aric2000 had already posted in the public forum. But on re-reading it, it was a different post that had been private.

ALS, please don't do that again. Characterize the freepmail post if you want, but I think quoting it without asking the poster is bad form.

Excuse me, I did read that post, I thought it was funny. I was not aware that it was a private correspondence from anyone and it was not personal in any way so I do not see why anyone would object to it. People send each other jokes in e-mails and sometimes you get your own back! This is not disclosure of personal information and I did not think it in any way reflected badly on anyone.

I must repeat, what I have said before, it is improper whether it is specifically forbidden by the site or whoever. You can go on till doomsday saying otherwise, I will never agree that it is proper.
