Rainman, I'm responding to 2 of your points: 1) who the poster's question was directed towards
2) your statement that telling an interest information is priveledged sounds snotty

The poster's use of
yall directly questions members of BGLOs, especially since his previous sentence is about BGLOs.
However, Rainman, as we all know, this is a public forum and everyone is entitled to voice their opinions. I agree that there are times when a post does not merit a response because responding would only validate the statement (such as the AKA & Mirrors post). Yet, there are times when an interest may ask questions that they honestly do not know is priviledged information. And in those cases, should we just not respond, or respond nastily? No. Just as there is a civilized way to
speak to people, there is also a civilized way to
write. I have seen some excellent responses from my fellow Greeks explaining that information is priviledged. On the contrary, I feel that if
no one responds to the interest, the silence alone could make them feel discounted.
