Brian,

I'm always puzzled by this sort of claim. The subjects of this personal
information presumably expect that it will remain confidential: that is,
not be distributed beyond the audience they anticipated when they
provided the information. If it gets to you, that expectation - that
confidence - has already been betrayed. It doesn't matter what you
promise to do or not to do with the information: if you have it, it is
no longer confidential.

Are we here to debate the notion of the word "confidential" or to try and help the person with the problem ? I offered my help with a guarantee that the information revealed to me would remain between myself and that person. It is not up to me to provide that information to others, unless I have the authorisation to do so from the initial discloser. That is the whole point surely ?

Alex
