The statement that you should ``specifically state if you do not wish
to be quoted'' presents certain logistical questions. Since this was
sent to a mailing list, are we to assume that every reply to the list
is up for possible quoting? If so, is this fair? If it is only replies
sent directly to JDA, then shouldn't that be made clear up front?
And what happens when I send it to the list, and Joe makes a mistake
and takes it for private e-mail? Where do I complain?
Folks, I'd be cautious when replying to this missive. Last time I sent
Abernathy a private mail-gram, he mistook it for a posting to com-priv
and fired his response back at the list.
