    Re: Mladen Pejic... Cool down. —Frank Filz
   (...) While as a general rule I agree with this, I think there also is a time for asking what others think of a communication one has received. In this case, perhaps Rick didn't have to share the whole e-mail, but I understand his desire for (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Mladen Pejic... Cool down. —Dave Schuler
   (...) Good point. "Fair use" probably has a much broader than usual definition when applied to interpersonal correspondence. Snail-mail letters are made public all the time, often via media "leaks," but they're released nonetheless. I'm not sure how (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Mladen Pejic... Cool down. —Dave Schuler
     (...) That's quite interesting to me--I had no prior knowledge of that. Thanks! Dave! (I just noticed that that came off as a bit sarcastic, but I didn't mean it that way!) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Mladen Pejic... Cool down. —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) Really? Wow. Do you have any cites? I thought letters were more like phone calls than like authored works. (only one party to a call needs to consent to it being recorded and disseminated) I had always assumed (1) that when I sent words to (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Mladen Pejic... Cool down. —Matthew Gerber
   (...) Will I do? Here are a couple: From: (URL) recipient of e-mail is generally free to share the information in the e-mail with anyone..." "Unless the recipient has some duty of confidentiality (e.g., physician-patient, attorney-client, trade (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Mladen Pejic... Cool down. —Matthew Gerber
     Whoops! Guess I should have finished that last post BEFORE posting it (that's how it's SUPPOSED to work, isn't it?)! Larry's the more corrrect in this instance. E-mail confidentiality is mostly a politeness issue. Assume that "anything you say can (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

      Thank you for posting those links, I was getting curious enough to look it up and I probably would have been browsing law for hours. Now I'll go whip together that Arachnomechatronitroid. (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

      (...) *Arachnomechatronitroid* Isn't that the instrument Lucy played at the Tropicana for that clown guy? I love that episode! Matt (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) And you're welcome to that title! You got the chops, you earned it! You rock at digging stuff up, man... thanks! ++Lar (23 years ago, 8-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Mladen Pejic... Cool down. —Alfred Speredelozzi
   (...) A little further legal note: As Rick was in fact commenting on Mladen's statements, the reproduction of his entire email would most likely be construed as "fair use" by a court in the US. The idea is that in order to have a free (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
