David is certainly correct, but there is still the possibility that she did not
mean to post it to the list. Perhaps she thought of something she had forgotten
two days earlier and planned to send me that info, but instead accidentally
forwarded it to the list.
We will only know if and when she chooses to post again.
As for getting a response, I suspect this is what we will find:

My goodness, of course it was meant for the entire list. Just look at the time
stamps. There's a two-day spread between the original note "Geraldine Kudaka"
sent to Bruce - and when the note was FORWARDED to the entire MoPo group from
Geraldine herself. She is obviously a MoPo member. There is no other way an
e-mail like that could be posted to the group without first enrolling as a
member. Unfairly or not, I interpreted the note as an attack on Heritage, an
attempt to force a public or private response from group members - or from Grey
himself. In PR and news, there's a rule we follow: In the business world,
there is no such thing as a true "surprise." Most disputes broil beneath the
surface for weeks or months - before they finally explode into the public eye.
They are usually the penultimate step before the "course of last resort," e.g.,
taking grievances to the media for widespread dissemination to audiences
outside the core group
most interested in the outcome. It is at that point that a client is at risk
losing control of a story and is forever put on defense until a counterattack
or well-understood response is mapped out and executed. Successful response
case histories: Tylenol poisonings, beef percentages questioned in Taco Bell
products, antenna issues with the iPhone. Unsuccessful or "too late" response
case histories: Pink slime, Bank of America's $5 debit fee proposal, and the
Komen Foundation's "180" with Planned Parenthood. -d.
