hi cora,
I'm thinking you mean posting vs. Babble*mail* ?
Yes?
Because to read a posted reply, you have to be on the PB website, where you've signed in. But a Babblemail ends up in the inbox of the receiver's regular email, where it could be more easily read?
If that's not it, I'm sorry. Hope your migraine gets better - I know they are h&ll! If you try again, I think we're maybe a bit confused by the terms *post* and *babble* - as many people use them to mean exactly the same thing.
I guess in the case of more or less safety in receiving an email (through Babblemail), it might depend what email provider a person uses. The trouble is, company/work email would likely have NO expectation of privacy, as it's not intended for personal stuff. Personal email, accessed from work, *might* be treated differntly under the law, but it also might as well *not* be. Problem is with using work time, work PC, work software to send/receive emails of any kind. That may negate a person's privacy rights.
Please understand these are just my general musings - I have a background as a paralegal - but NOT in that type of law - and I'm not in that profession any more. Also, laws would likely vary state by state (or federal, if it came down to a law suit.
It is frustrating trying to communicate here sometimes, isn't it?
