Bull crap, I bet I could have found you in the Net yellow pages and a thousand
other ways.  Giving out someone's email address is like giving out a
phone number.  And we all have caller ID automagically.  If you think
email addresses are something private, get a clue!!

I could have found your email address given your name with out much of
a problem if I really wanted to.  A few quick data base searches on 
the news archives that this whole thing was from would have turned it
up fast enough.  I just didn't want to bother, and the person would
have given it to me had he had it handy.

You published your email address in a usenet article, you should expect
it to get passed around!

> and, as i pointed out in an earlier private message, a violation of ethics.

Perhaps if there was such a thing as an ``unlisted'' email address, yes,
but there ain't so nope, don't buy that one either.

I do not need your permission, you should study copyright law.  When you
send me a letter, that copy of that letter becomes MINE to do with as
I wish.  I could have published it in a newspaper if I desired to.  And,
what I did publish was my reply to it, my writting in that posting
constitued some 80% of the content with me ``quoting and attributing''
where I had quoted you as reference material.  I clearly own the copyright
on that, which by Berne convintion is mine and I can do with it as I
wish.

Also if you don't want your email to fall under these conditions you
must put a header on it clearly stating so.  Again, get a clue!!!

And that is how it got to me!

Won't hold up in court I am afraid, since it was redistributed electronically
and probly no less than 20 copies made to get to me.  Also you really should
read copyright law, you left out at least 1 important requirement, location.
And (C) is not an accepted legal replacement for the lower case ``c'' 
inclosed by a circle, just use the written word, no need for the redundant
and meaningless since it is not correct (C).

Gee.. and no response on violation of Intel Corporate Security Polices,
I thought for sure you would have tried to defend yourself on that one :-).
