IMO, copyright has nothing to do with this. And I don't really give a rat's
ass about whatever legal issues may or may not be involved.
When Cindy sent you a private email, the implication was that she wanted to
take it off the forum. That is why is was "private", John. *You* were the
intended forum. The fact that your writings were contained in her email is
irrelevant. You violated an implied trust and, IMO, you owe her an apology.

I'm completely lost. Help me understand how her email wasn't a "separate
email" and why you think that it was still part of the original (ProFox)
chain. On second thought, don't.

Cindy incorporated my writing into a private email - away from the
intended forum. I merely redirected the discussion back to the intended
forum.
If Cindy wanted to send me a separate email that would have broken the
chain - I would not have done as I did.
Since my writings were contained, at the very least, I am one of the
copyright owners and as such - have the right to do with it as I please.
Sorry...but the "rules", such as they are - cut in my favor on this
one....
Bottom line...you incorporate something I write into an email you send
me, I have the right to do with it as I wish. And FWIW, Whil certainly
had the right to post a private email to Ken. IMO, it happened to be bad
form when juxtaposed with his supposed goal.
No need to argue this any further...
