[quote=jsteele]With some regularity I receive letters from attorneys who are representing clients that are upset with a post or posts on this site. It is my inclination to make such letters public and I have done so at times in the past. I am wondering if I am within my rights to continue this practice or whether I have some obligation to keep the letters private?

Furthermore, if the attorney specifically states that he does not give me permission to publicize his letter, am I obligated not to publish it? I do not feel that I should be under any obligation to which I have not consented. Therefore, the attorney should first obtain my agreement to keep our correspondence confidential. Is this a sound position?

My feeling is that since these letters are aimed at influencing discussions on the site and in response to messages posted by our users, the users deserve to know about such correspondence. Obviously, the attorneys tend to feel differently. I would be interested in the opinions of the attorneys out there.
