Is it against the rules or etiquette to publish details of a member’s profile on another message board?

Of course, Mods love to hear from the members. I guess your best choice might be to PM one and go into details. They are actually very helpful when you have a question.

Yeah – they already know “42”; its the other part that keeps them checking their PMs on a daily basis. 😉

I would consider it jerkish to publish details about another poster from a source other than this message board. In general, off board matters involving another poster should not be brought to the board.

Huh. I thought he was asking if he could publish profile info on a member _from here_, onto another board.

We generally don’t police the activities of members off-board. However, I could see a case that if the objective was ridicule or to get the poster in trouble it could be construed as harassment.

Don’t worry; it’s a moot point now. Ironically, you yourself have posted the info I wanted to release.
