Everyone:
The sentence below that reads "I wonder if this is a deliberate decision by
some who do want people to easily follow ongoing discussions... " should
read instead "I wonder if this is a deliberate attempt by some who do NOT
want people to easily follow ongoing discussions... "
Sorry for the missing "NOT."
