I don't have an issue with Lanny copying the list on the followups; as you say, it's certainly of interest, especially since he has been successful. My concern is the same as yours, that he shouldn't have copied us on his initial message to Intel. I wouldn't have objected if he had sent the message to Intel and then forwarded it to us.
