One way I made someone stop complaining about what I was writing was to post all their emails in public. They complained about that too and I posted their complaints. They went away
I think the rule is that when someone sends you a letter you own it. This was been the rule for centuries. The guy thought if he wrote "don't post this letter" I'd be required by some kind of contract not to post it. It see these in the bottoms of emails all the time. Just think if they WERE binding, I could have a ton of fun NOTICE, After reading this email the content of the message must be destroyed as well and all computing equipment used to display, store or transport it. The reader must remain silent and not speak to anyone for a year. On Mon, Aug 22, 2016 at 4:24 PM, William H.
