No worries, what you're saying is that in this sort of case I should make sure I post it on geocities anonymously. The likelyhood of me doing so is proportional to the arse-factor (ie rear-end lyrics) of the email. Oh it was confidential - sorry I didn't read that far. If $YOU don't like it, don't fill my inbox with rubbish ;) I have read from people involved in this kinda case in the USA that the unconditional addition of lengthy confidentiality statements is a good defense to saying that it is obviously nothing special and therefore not confidential.
