I completely understood that he wanted private comments to the email he was sending out. Even if you had been in doubt, you should have just kept quiet to be sure.
What you've gone and done is pretty much what he was complaining about regarding the other programmer. See my first paragraph.

1. He's not my customer.
2. I did not understand that he wanted the discussion private I took that his "he did not want to exploit" that he did not want to go into detail about what he said or the programmer said, which I did not. I did not reveal what I read. I merely stated my opinion that I thought he needed something other than a straight programmer. There are some very good webmasters out there that can handle many programming tasks, html, database work, script installs, the whole ball of wax and I merely stated that from what I read that I thought that was what he needed.
You would not want a jack of all trades to do a large programming project perhaps but as far as maintenance stuff combined with server tasks, etc. That is often the better way to go and usually a whole lot cheaper.
