I thought sharing of private info and having access to someone elses acct was a NO NO ?

Where, exactly, did the member post private information? He said the provider showed him her email box to show how busy she'd been. He didn't post content, or even say that he'd read the emails. Merely that she indicated "look...i'm swamped with email."
#19 - Account security is of the utmost importance. You are responsible for your account and only your account. You are not to allow any other individual access to your account unless you have received prior approval from staff. This will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but must be approved prior to releasing access to another party.
Where in the above post does the member indicate he has access to a provider's ECCIE account? Email and ECCIE aren't the same thing.
Now...was it wise to share a provider's inbox with a hobbyist? I don't think so. It's indiscreet and a security risk. But the above isn't remotely a violation of ECCIE guidelines.
You read into a post what you want to hear, not what the post says.
