Alan, I really appreciate your concern about getting things going on this site, and your feedback is really important. By being active and vocal, you help us understand better, the needs of this exer online community. We are doing something about putting the ML's online, and if nothing else, now with more of a sense of urgency thanks to input such as yours.
I must however point out that we have considered any and all email exchanges 100% CONFIDENTIAL, first, by default, unless otherwise stated, and Researcher was right in assuming that your communications were confidential. It's not that we really have anything to hide, but we really do make an effort not to divulge contents of emails, unless absolutely necessary.
There are many aspects to running a website, and it's a lot more than just posting whatever we want online. We have to consider many areas, such as: intended audience, purpose, presentation, content, usability, privacy, ethics, security and legal matters, juist to mention a few. Needless to say many of these areas overlap and affect other aspects. As Researcher pointed out, there is nothing simple to decisions we're making such as including commentaries. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, not all of these matters are ideal for discussion in a public forum such as this.
Things may not be what they seem. Sorry to be so secretive about all this. I know this is the last thing any exer needs, to think about anymore selah do's and don'ts - it's just not kosher... but there's not a whole lot I know to do to make it easier right now. Thanks for your patience anyway.
