[LUTE] Re: Privacy
Danny Thank you for the advice which is very helpful However I think we have rather lost the plot here. Originally one person sent an simple message to the list drawing attention to some work he had posted on line which other people have said in the past they found useful. Someone else on the list sent him an unsolicited message privately commenting on his work in an rather offensive manner. Not surprisingly the recipient was very upset and raised the matter briefly on the list. All that I tried to say initially was that I don't think that we should take advantage of the fact that we can contact people off the list to send other members messages which may upset them. There seemed to me to be no justification in this instance to do so Maybe we can let the matter rest now.

Therefore their rights to copy my private email to a 3rd party, let alone the public domain, are extremely limited. That's the case for not just any pictures/art/music/audio etc that I send, but the actual words too. So in the case of this email, you would have the right to write to the list and say "Danny wrote to me and told me X", but you wouldn't actually have the right to include my email verbatim - unless I gave you explicit permission (which I do, but I suggest that the list is tired of the subject now!).

Actually, the one-on-one option is a potentially good thing. If there's a disagreement, it may be best handled in a more private conversation, rather than sharing with the whole list. I think that even on the internet, one on one interactions tend to be more civil than yelling to the crowd. And one always has the option of blocking a specific sender on one's email server.

As I understand it Martyn contacted Anton after he had posted details of his latest intabulations on this list. If Martyn has anything helpful to say that might help Anton to make his work even more useful than it is already - and a lot of people do find it very useful and are grateful to him for posting the details - then why not say it here. We have discussed this before. Does being on this list mean that anyone is entitled to engage in a one- to-one correspondence with you? Better leave it at that as this will probably be misconstrued too.
