to summarize the situation here. SPI's attorney has asked that his messages not be posted to public mailing lists for reasons of attorney-client privilege.
Please could you elaborate on whom this secrecy is intended to protect, and in what way? I thought attorney-client privilege was a mechanism intended to protect sensitive information disclosed by the client to the attorney (facilitating honest and open communication without the client having to worry about information being leaked to enemies, competitors or the authorities). Assuming this is the case, it seems a bit strange that the request for secrecy should be coming from the *attorney*'s side... I could well be talking bollocks here, and I apologise in advance if that's the case, but I have to say that that's the inference I got. Clarification welcome.
