Connie,

Since you asked below...I subscribe to many Rootsweb mailing lists and on
more than one occasion a personal email sent privately to another list
member has been posted to a list. Without my prior knowledge or consent.
In my opinion it is a violation of implied trust between me, the sender, and
the receiver of the email. If I wanted to share the information with the
list I would have addressed it to the list. All messages sent to a Rootsweb
list are archived. I want to be the one to decide when and where my words
and thoughts will remain in perpetuity...as in an archived online database.

Apparently the Radcliffe Institute of Harvard University agrees at this URL
in the last paragraph of a webpage on "Email Etiquette."

http://www.radcliffe.edu/rito/tips/email/etiquette.html

The original author of the email has the ultimate right to decide.

Me too. I was hoping to get some input, but haven't seen any yet.
