Thank God I counted to 10...

I was going to post the contents of today's correspondence, Julian's and mine, mine to him, his to me, and mine to him, and his to me again. In fact I have a draft with it all saved right here, formatted, with all the names, places and contact information obscured. And I read it through, and I actually read the disclaimer after his automatic e-signature thingie for the first time:

SECURITY/CONFIDENTIALITY WARNING: This email and any attachments hereto are intended solely for the individual or entity to which they are addressed. This communication may contain information that is privileged, confidential, or exempt from disclosure under applicable Federal Law (HIPAA) e.g., personal health information, research data and/or financial information.

And I thought about paraphrasing him, but I didn't want to, and I thought about just posting my letter and describing his response, and then I thought the whole thing seemed really disrespectful. I mean everything that goes on between us in that room is private and, well, so are all intimate moments, shared or solitary, worth writing about... and so many people do it, but to take his words (besides bordering on illegal), or my private words to him, to recycle them and display them, that's another story. I won't do it. Those e-mails, starred, saved, cherished, are staying between us. I'll write about them, it's nothing monumental, but I won't exploit them like that. God no. I can't believe I was considering it.
