You're twisting words here Ken. What Todd is saying is that you (not somebady
else) posted this infomation in what could be construted as a public forum (the
Yahoo group) without saying that you considered this infomation to be private.
Therefore, since the info was disseminated by you (not somebady else) the casual
reader might think it was ok to repeat this to others. I can speak only for
myself but if I read a post on a Yahoo group (which I consider to be a public
forum unless specifically stated when I joined the group) I'd wouldn't think
twice about repeating information I learned there.
If you decide to spy on me and learn some jucicy bit about my personal life and
then you publically reveal this information, your assertion is that you did
nothing wrong. This however is false since it is you doing the revealing and
not me. If on the the other hand I had posted the same info to a public forum
(without retracting my post or asking the the info not be repeated) and then you
had repeated this elsewhere I would have no cause to complain since I was the
one who revealed the infomation in the first place. Do you see the difference?
