Well yes. Now you are even resending my *private email to you* to a
public mailing list! That is very very much not done.

A very good resource is RFC 1855, the netiquette standard.
http://www.rfc1855.org/

"- If you are forwarding or re-posting a message you've received, do
not change the wording. If the message was a personal message to
you and you are re-posting to a group, you should ask permission
first. You may shorten the message and quote only relevant parts,
but be sure you give proper attribution."

"- Limit line length to fewer than 65 characters and end a line
with a carriage return."

In fact, someone else has already posted a complete gzipped copy
of rfc1855.org to this list. Which in itself probably goes against
RFC1855, just like this part of this thread itself, actually.
Which is why I responded to you in private email.

Mike.
