It's not hard for me to remember today, because alot of it is still<br>
true. Many of those discussions could today still jeopardize
contracts,<br>
careers and personal lives. I wish to remember those discussions in<br>
our private living rooms, not in a public Internet

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.<br><br>
Amara, we can discuss this in detail so that everyone is assured that
their privacy is protected.<br><br>
