The early list will be kept private *unless* post authors agree to have 
their posts included in the library, or in a book.  In that case, the 
editors will contact post authors and get full permission to make the posts 
public.

privacy is protected.

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the circle, 
then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what is inside the 
circle and everything outside the circle, then that is an open system 
perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
