Hi, I appreciate the kindness, but I really wanted the discussion to turn to the issue of changing the listserves rule about reposting to require permission of the poster - consider the reason I gave, but also think about what if your advice to a fellow attorney
is sent to Joe public as legal advice. Do we want to have an open forum where ideas flow freely and where we can be transparent? Consider asking other lists what their policy is and perhaps a simple rule change here requiring permission of the poster before
reposting. Thanks </div>

The Attorney herself sent me the policy, which allows what you said. Honestly, to me, it's just a distraction that the Court sees all of the time when the opposing counsel "who lost the case" is only being a sore loser. Like someone kicked out of the sandbox
when they were a child. I am not worried about it. I want to point out that <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">not all listserves have this policy -- some require permission from the poster. Perhaps
I am too old and the world has passed me by, but I believe it's what the list is about. If we indeed desire to be other-focused and really want to give and help one another, then there should be a level of trust that you can be transparent. </span></div>
