List,

I think we can all agree that it is unwise
(as well as a violation of list rules) to
publicly post private e-mails.  It has a
chilling effect on freedom of speech.  In
addition, there are differences between
what you might say in private and in public.
My posts to this list are usually quite
reasonable (well, you might not agree with
my opinions, but the way they're worded is
usually reasonable), but what one says in
a private e-mail is more like a conversation
one might have in private, in which opinions
are more free-wheeling.  Therefore, I find
it quite objectionable that Mr. Barisonzi
has once again violated both list rules
and general ethics and etiquette.  Our
excellent List Manager has asked that we
not debate list rules on the list, so the
only reason I'm sending this to all is that
if I did not, everyone would probably start
debating the substance of my private e-mail,
as if I had sent it to the list, and since
I did not, I'm asking that we not debate it.

Don Jorovsky
