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. > Exactly.
