[ RadSafe ] Nuclear Physics Political Demise at Oregon State University

Mon Mar 28 04:24:26 CDT 2011

Hi Bob,

it's courtesy to address someone by name , it does not imply that a msg 
is private and confidential.  It may be a comment addressed to you 
publicly, as is the case here.

It is clearly up to you look where a msg is coming from. It may even 
change how you interpret a msg depending on whether it is a public forum 
or a private email, so you should note this when reading all emails, 
irrespective of whether you reply.

Your own lack of attention is the only cause of any embarrassment here, 
I don't see why expect others to do things differently. It is always 
easier to change our ways than to change the world. It's usually quicker 
too.

BTW this is not personal or private, it's on a public and archived 
mailing list. Please take care it you wish to reply.

;)
