I hope Krivit realizes this.
It's my understanding that the CMNS group includes a number of scientists and researchers who feel the need to maintain a sense of anonymity. Anonymity allows the exclusive membership to discuss certain matters without fear of the unpredictable actions of outside influences. It's my understanding that Mr. Krivit has shown a long history of violating the wishes of the CMNS membership by posting information that originated there, information that was privately discussed there. I'm curious as to how Mr. Krivit gets this information since I would assume the CMNS membership would never have granted Krivit direct access to their group in the first place. This leads me to assume that Mr. Krivit must have his sources who must feel some sense of sympathy for him. There exists a philosophy that claims anything posted out on the Internet should be considered in the public domain. Therefore, the argument goes, anything that is posted in any "group" should keep in mind how their post might go down (or be interpreted) if the contents accidentally leak out into the public domain. This is, in fact, a philosophy I try to remind myself of daily whenever I post (or email) anything. Nevertheless, and with that said, Mr. Krivit has consistently violated the wishes of the privately maintained CMNS group. He appears to show little respect on the matter of honoring or respecting their wishes. Hopefully, Mr. Krivit realizes that such actions on his part has a tendency to backfire. It will isolate himself from many sources that will refuse to cooperate (or be open) with him in the future. He should also not expect that others will necessarily feel honor bound to respect mattes of privacy that he might have personally preferred to be kept confidential. I realize that should Mr. Krivit read this post of mine it's possible that he might choose to interpret it as a thinly veiled threat of some kind. (or perhaps not... I don't know.) I can only say that as a former NET BoD member working for Krivit it's been my experience that Mr. Krivt has occasionally shown a tendency to feel personally threatened by how he personally interprets the way others perceive him. To be honest I've already said enough about my personal experiences of working with Mr. Krivit. There's really not much more I can say. Krivit has his good traits, and unfortunately a few bad traits as well. But then, that pretty much goes for everyone on the planet. Myself included.
