I understand this interpretation.

But if Mr. Steed is open to all e-mails from private individuals, as he
wrote below,

"I try to respond promptly at all e-mails sent directly to me by
individuals,,,"

this might contradict the statement he does not want Garrett to "incite
Vision2020 to start sending everything to me..." as he also wrote.

So is Mr. Steed open to anyone subscribed to Vision2020 contacting him
privately?  Or was he saying he did not want a flood of private e-mails
from Vision2020 subscribers?

For Garrett to post his responses to the list certainly might invite many
private and/or public responses, no matter who wishes what.
