Contents of PMs

Just curious...

Obviously putting another poster's pms up for all to see is absolutely the wrong thing to do, even regardless of rules.

However, I got to wondering, putting the contents of my own pm's up in a thread cannot possibly be a breach of rules, or for that matter, the wrong thing to do can it? After all, my PMs are effectively my own intellectual property.

Is that correct?

For what it's worth, I agree.

I don't see how ... the rules say you need the authors permission to put up PM's, if you permit yourself you are covered

Well, it seems that this rule,

"OzPolitic values the privacy of all members. Do not post personal information about other members without their explicit permission. This includes the contents of personal messages and emails, photos, names, IP addresses, phone numbers, locations etc. This includes information that can be found online and instructions on how to find information about specific members. Such behaviour is considered stalking."

Would be the key and, as such, I give myself explicit permission to post the contents of my own PMs....

Can't be any clearer than that now can we? Can't be any more explicit either.
