I'd want objective evidence that we get less cross-area review than
at some date in the past before worrying a great deal. It seems to me
that we are actually doing it more systematically than in the past.

But those accidents - hearing about something by chance that you would
never discover by chance on-line - are a major part of the advantage of
our plenary weeks. Being all in one place and time zone allows those
useful accidents to happen.
