When I posted email to an internal list, I was under the impression that it would remain confidential. Someone, I don't know who, has violated that presumption of confidentiality; that rudeness seems to have been skipped in this meta-discussion. The way I might say something to someone in a small group of people may not be the same way I would phrase it if I knew I was talking to the whole world. I might feel freer to express doubts and questions without having every single word I said analyzed for correctness, by N people, M of whom I don't even know. If I have to carefully police every single thing I say in every single venue, so that someone, somewhere, won't raise a stink, I might as well give up this hobby and just read webcomics. mcl
