Forwarded message - a measure to make things clear. I will forward any message whose public presence will be helpful.

Very probably, you are right, and we could discuss the problem with Dr. Green again. However, after my explicit request not to circulate my message to you, I consider your reaction as quite unfriendly. It is a shock for me that VSNET considers it possible not to take into account a request from me, knowing our attention to your work and our appreciation of all your effort.
