I would never announce that type of information if someone had simply changed their posting name. Due to the fact that her letter was not terribly scary I suppose it wasn't a necessity to post it's contents.

> Gabbix2Thanks for thinking more about this. What if next time :-) you post something like:
> I received a letter from Catwoman which alarmed me and I sent it to Dr. Bob. It has to do with Superman. If you're interested, babblemail me and we can discuss it more privately.
So people can find out what you know, but you're not making it public?
