Dan ... you have already been asked more than once to get my personal
e-mail off this web site. Please do so immediately. Don't e-mail to
tell me when it's done because I have your address filtered. I simply
have no interest in e-mailing anyone who posts PRIVATE e-mail to a web
site. There is nothing I can do legally. I am just asking you to show
a little common sense and decency.

Ah, that would explain why you haven't replied to explanations, 
apologies, a qustion about whether you wanted /me/ to edit the material, 
or did you want to write it into something you found acceptable, or the 
note saying I had edited out the part that I assumed you had a problem 
with, and was that OK.

Anyone, including you, can edit any page.  All you had to do was click 
"Edit this page" at the bottom of the page in question, and delete or 
edit the material in question, and hit "Save."

When you wrote me that note, I took a quick look at it, and it looked 
like a great start to a biography, so I pasted it in.  And, I emailed 
you right away to tell you I had pasted it in:

You wrote back later that day:

So, I assumed you had read the part about me pasting in your note.  But 
anyway, back to your posting:

Well, I explained that and apologized in email.  Once again, I'm sorry.  
It was a mistake. Please don't let one mistake ruin a friendship of many 
years.

If you send a letter to a newspaper or website, the presumption is it
is for publication unless you specify otherwise.

Which is great to know, except that the poster didn't submit the text to a 
website, they sent it in an e-mail to an *individual*.
