Re: Last look at W3C

Are conversations with co-workers backchannel? How about conversations
with friends that you have in RealLifeTM but relate to a technology
that you participate in a mailing list about? Are those to be mailed
out to everyone on list? This is getting silly. There is no way all
thoughts and shaping conversations that form thoughts are going to
make it on list. Asbjorn, I appreciate your concern in keeping this
process open but cut me and the other hardworking RFC 281 uers here
some slack.
