Greg,
Let me spell it out crystal clear so you can understand. Are you, or are you not, the Gregory Taylor referenced in the URL's I sent below?
Even if he is, what you did and said was slanderous, beyond a normal NANOG flamewar.
Albert P. (signing his real name so Susan won't remove him from the list)
Oh please do Susan what he did was already illegal.
"Albert P."
</rant>
Can you take this off-list so we don't have to hear a play school convo?
Thanks,
Josh

Contrary to the list charter, quite probably. Illegal? Unclear. It's bordering on the whole slander/libel thing, but in general, truth is an absolute defense against a slander or libel charge. What the actual truth of the matter is, I neither know, nor have any real desire to investigate.
I was talking more along the lines of disclosing personal information without permission, slander is another one as well...

I'm coming up empty-handed on statutes for the disclosure issue. Asking around in the office found lots of rules that we as a university have to comply with (mostly having to do with the information's status as "student records"), and businesses often have privacy requirements (see HIPPA and similar, and California has it's very recent laws regarding notification of information disclosure due to hacking incidents), but I'm not finding any good cites for "Joe User discloses Jim Random's info". Tacky? Yes. Illegal? I'll wait to hear a citation (federal would be somewhere in USC or CFR, state laws would be wherever your state keeps them - but making them apply to an Internet incident might be tricky...)
