I think that, regardless of the etiquette, it's awfully naive to expect 
information not to be shared by the recipients once it has been posted to 
a mailing list. I would think that things you don't want to risk being 
seen by other people, shouldn't be posted publically, but should be said 
in private mail.

I base that opinion on the understanding that this is a public forum and 
only the listowner knows who all is receiving posts here. If that's true, 
then you should not participate here on the assumption that you're having 
a private conversation or that what you post here won't go beyond this 
list.

If I'm wrong, then maybe our "list-Mom" will correct me and start 
policing and scolding those who forward posts?

Personally, I wouldn't want to accept that responsibility.
