Zeev: After reading your post and that of the "psychic detective and remote reader" who tried to embarrass you by publicly posting one of your private e-mail messages, I have come to the judgment that the webmistress booted the wrong person.

Personally I see nothing wrong with sending personal e-mail to anyone who posts their address here. Why else would anyone give their address, if they didn't welcome e-mail from SI posters? And having just re-read SI's "terms of use," they say nothing at all against sending unsolicited email, or even unWANTED e-mail.

I certainly DO think it is wrong to post a private e-mail message on a public thread, unless the author gives permission. SI should consider forbiding such abuses.

I will be sending a message to the webmistress thanking her for reinstating you, and suggesting that SI reconsider and clarify its policies in this area.

Happy New Year and good luck to all.
