I prefer a set of rules to a set of rules that can be broken when someone decides it is appropriate to break them.

Like the rules of evidence and all the hearsay exceptions? Or the Federal Sentencing Guidelines? Or any zillions of laws which contain loopholes for public policy reasons, i.e. for the greater good of the community?

In those cases the rule itself sets forth the loophole. Not so here.

We could have a new forum rule. No posting private emails except when it is for the greater good. That would work.

Well, but this is a vintage baseball card chatboard in which the community at large sets the rules. And consideirng we're all in agreement that fraud in our hobby is bad and exposing it is good, the consenus was that it was important that the email be released and Kevin exposed.
Also, this forum is not actually a democracy; Leon runs it and runs it according to how he sees fit. Edited to add: Perfect, Peter. Now let's apply that rule retroactively.

I started by saying I expected I would be in the minority on this, but I doubt I am the only one and that it is otherwise a consensus.

True -- I suspect you, Kevin and Elkins think alike on this issue. You're definitely not alone, you're correct.

I consider myself an impartial third-party in that I know none of the persons involved. My gut feeling is that the comment made by Kevin was solely bravado and not meant as fact.
But I'm not 100% certain. Hence I lean towards Peter in that a rule against the posting of emails is a good idea. So I guess we have a minority of 4.
