This is all getting very complicated linguistically.  I'm still the
same Justin I was when I wrote the original, and when I explained it
to you.  I publish because it's an interesting and public
conversation.  Tom's post seemed to promote a position I didn't think
truly represented his position and he (crweb) has admitted as much, to
"liven it up".

All I'm saying is that if the ML is at all productive, it would be a
natural place to share things you're already sharing.  That
professionals do not feel this is the case is a bad place to be. If
we're lucky, perhaps a simple prod is all that's needed.
