THIS IS THE SORT OF NOISE THAT'S BETTER KEPT OFF THE LIST. Private messages should be sent via private email.

What? This is the fist bit of substantive stuff on a list filled with noise for months. What do you think the list is for? To provide a place for conspiracy theorists to jerk each other off?

Ms. Steele's forwarding of the Denning article was entirely appropriate. Two people publicly asking Ms. Steele to forward it when email would have sufficed was noise. I replied to Paul, not Shari, so I figured that a careful reader would be able to properly disambiguate my pronouns.... Oh well.
