Dear Virginia, Barry, and Barbara, As far as I know, the threaded conversations on the different websites and this email list are completely seperate. At various moments people have proposed that this list would be linked to or converted into a threaded discussion on a website or a newsgroup, but unless someone has done so secretly, that has not been done and I don't know of any plans in that direction. How about you Murli?
To the issue of trust - I agree that people who contribute to this list have to know where their contribution goes. The problem with that is, of course, that we don't have any control over what the subscribers do with the messages they receive. It is indeed a matter of trust to assume that all the subscribers can discriminate between what they can and cannot share with others. I always assume that what I send to the list is going out into the world and I have no control over it any more. But, having said that, it does feel different to send it to less than 200 more-or-less likeminded people or to have it out on a website for everyone to see. The latter feels much more open and public than the list and it would make me more cautious in what I write. But as I said, I don't think anyone is doing that or will do in the near future.
