I maintain that it *is* the same thing, unless very carefully phrased to avoid that interpretation. The message received is at least as important as the message intended. > Is there any reason to expect that anyone who wanted to join the > off-list discussion would be excluded if they had sensible things to > say? Two assumptions there: the assumption that people even knew that such discussion was happening at all; and the assumption that people need “sensible things to say” in order to qualify for being informed of progress. Both are false, in my estimation. -- \ “I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence. | `\ There's a knob called ‘brightness’ but it doesn't work.” | _o__) —Eugene P.
