Fwd: [ alexandria-Support Requests-1693049 ] "private" bit on mailing list not being honored

[Sean Egan]

Oh, man, what I missed on the airplane!

I'm at FOSTEL,  an open-source telephony/IM/voip conference. I give a
talk tomorrow. This would probably be a good place to make such an
announcement, but I don't think we have enough time to prepare by then

I'm going to let the lawyers know, and I'll follow up soon.
