I'll voice a public support. And yes, I also received notice from Susan about my Freenet posting. What had me most confused was that I was contacted personally. I'm sure everyone else in the thread was /also/ contacted personally, but that meant that the thread continued on. It would be nice to have a public notice that the thread has wandered (or started) off-topic, and to continue conversation elsewhere.
