I say it's a big difference.  In an office setting, we can pretty much
know who hears what.  On this list, we have to be aware that it is
global - and not everyone has the same policital or cultural leanings
that we have.  To post a message of this sort, albeit was a "news item",
is to do a disservice to those who may read the list who would be
troubled by such news.  Not everyone in the world greeted the news with
enthusiasm.

[Yes - I realize that Bill's original post was simply informational, but
I think we have to be considerate of possible reactions to such news.]
