Gladly, Alois,
And as the Math Forum's discussion administrator -- and the person who received Julien's original message to mathforum.org in which he told us about mymathforum.com -- to my chagrin I must add my dismay at the indignation and vitriol already expressed in this thread.
it would now be very interesting to know the precise
wording of your
message.
Enjoy:

Salut Julien,
Thanks for writing the Math Forum @ Drexel, and sharing your mymathforum.com.
We retain the copyright on the "Math Forum" name, own the mathforum.com domain name, and have operated the Problem of the Week service online since 1993. Would you please honor that work and community effort, Julien, and refrain from using those terms for your site?
In the meantime, I've gone ahead and added your mymathforum.com site to our page of Sites with Problems Administered by Others -- as well as to our much more heavily trafficked Internet Mathematics Library (http://mathforum.org/library/), which you may confirm by searching or browsing the Library.
Please do let us know if you decide to re-label your work so as to avoid confusing our audiences.

Julien, the way you took my question ...
"Would you please honor that work and community effort, Julien, and refrain from using those terms for your site? ... Please do let us know if you decide to re-label your work so as to avoid confusing our audiences."
... and represented it in this newsgroup as this ...
"the author of the email says ... I shall not use the words 'math forum' and 'problem of the week' on my site"
... particularly disappointed me. Steve (the Forum's director) and I do hope you'll re-consider the direction in which our original conversation has veered, now publicly. I look forward to following up separately with you soon about the concerns you raised in our private correspondence.
For those less familiar with the Forum's mission and history -- including our eight years at Swarthmore College, with which many still associate us -- I encourage you to visit
