[Vision2020] Does Jerry Schutz have a little secret?

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Linda,

While I also found the email vile, I don't agree that we should change 
V2020.  I think the condemnation of the post shows clearly that there's no 
support for the statements that were made in it.  I also don't doubt that in 
short order people will have a pretty good idea about where the post came 
from.

This post was an abberation.  I don't think we should change this site 
because of it, either  by requiring subscriptions or making someone a 
moderator.
