The EtLL said:

Private e-mail is private e-mail. Period. Unless someone is being
unnecessarily abusive, to the point where you have a legitimate 
complaint against them with their ISP, in general, if someone sends 
you a private e-mail, it's not your place to post it anywhere you 
feel like. That's a violation of netiquette, common courtesy, and 
privacy.

I'm sorry Lurker, but you're wrong. First of all, this started over a 
two line quote about putting Top Ten lists on the FFML, a relevant 
topic for those who haven't been around since it's not in the FAQ. 
Anywhere. Second of all, when you send someone a private e-mail, 
you're involving them in a communication. If you don't want people to 
know what you're saying, you need to be sure of who you're sending it 
to. Vandall is a party in a two-way communication here, and he has 
the right to use what you say in any manner he wishes. It's not a 
violation of privacy to quote something you told him without any 
qualifications, and something you sent to him with the intent of 
correcting something he did. 

Thirdly, this is the Fan Fiction Mailing List. Not the Internet 
Privacy Mailing List. Not the General Nettiquette Mailing List. The 
Fan Fiction Mailing List. Your latest rant has nothing to do with Fan 
Fiction. It has only to do with your nitpicking a two line quote. As 
most of your rants seem to do, this rant only served to create a rift 
between list members in addition to creating unneccesary list 
traffic. I am not Tybalt. I can't stop you from doing anything. 
Fortunately, I can delete or ignore all e-mail you send me, all e-
mail that starts with the letters 'Re:' on this address, or ignore 
every message I receive with the word 'Rant' in it. Not things I want 
to do, but things I find I may have to do.

Vandall was simply providing a quote for a reference in his message, 
most likely so that readers of the message might know he was speaking 
on the topic earlier with somebody who maintained the FAQ. There is 
no need to go off the handle because of it. Please keep your rants to 
yourself, or try counting to ten. The list will be better off for it, 
and so will my keyboard.

Thanks.
