This mailing list is, and always has been, a private non-government
forum.  Therefor, the usual "Free speech!" defense DOES NOT APPLY to
things you say in this forum; the law just doesn't apply here.  That
doesn't mean we discourage open communications, it does mean that
there are some things that we are going to ask you to not discuss
here.  One obvious example is off-topic posts, like politics or
sewing.  One not-so-obvious example is patents.  Discussing a patent
on an open forum changes the legal liability of ANYONE who reads this
forum, and doing that without legal advice is dangerous and costly.
