Re: [Gendispatch] some thoughts about ietf communication

   Rich,

   It is very easy to misconstrue a statement that says that the biggest
problem is when it's too easy for the general public to speak and how
it's much better when getting up to speak was much harder.

   In fact, it's very easy to take that as elitist and a call to clamp
down on the free speech of others. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way
but it sure sounds that way to this tin ear. Maybe try and rephrase?
