> The impression I got was that it was OK -It's certainly not considered discreet behavior by a portion of the internet community. Netiquette suggests that one does not forward private information and/or personal statements without the author's permission. It's difficult to enforce, though. At least here we can forward Babblemails which seem problematic (re privacy) to Dr. Bob to address (at some point in the future when he finds the time). And of course we should keep in mind that the internet is essentially not private. This board is definitely not private.
Here is one view on the etiquette of forwarding emails: http://www.cynthiaarmistead.com/internet/forward2.shtml
It takes a hard line. I realize that there's probably a continuum of views on what is acceptable or not, and that everyone falls somewhere on that continuum.What's right or wrong isn't up to me, though I'd like to request that no one share with others any private information I've given them, and I pledge to do the same.
Namaste
