It depends which group you're writing to, and reading. When the cc remains
pointing to both for so long the issues are bound to become muddled, though
that's not necessarily a bad thing if appropriate. But I can't easily tell
who is committed to seriously exploring Greg's plan and who's observing only
what ends up on -chat and approaching it from that perspective. I do agree,
though, that there were quite a few red herrings in both lists at first.

I think these were mostly answered earlier on in the supporters mailing
list. No doubt Greg will reply there in the morning.
