<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Just to be clear: no one was trying to exclude anyone and no one was trying to make a silo or decide that the discussion was on a "need to know" basis. We were merely trying to
ensure that people would actually be wanting to get the discussion posts rather than being annoyed at getting stuff they perhaps felt was not relevant. We are all swamped with email. If people are happy to listen in without contributing, that is absolutely
fine. <br>
I think it's been settled that the discussion will take place on the list and that people can delete posts they feel are not of interest to them.<br>

<div>Yes, it's Dr Colson. I think that it's important to be included in such discussions. But perhaps the desire to create a new list stems from fact that people are feeling swamped with email. My view is that it's important to undertake holistic research and
I know from having had linguistic training in five European languages (and Latin) that 'listening in' gives me information which, as M. Corbiere argues, is very useful. The idea that one ought to divvy up knowledge into silos based on whether 'one needs to
know' something is worrisome. <br>
<br>
Best wishes, <br>

I glean in this way often help me to clarify the changes that my non-linguistics-majors, adult students find so bewildering and worrisome. So, I'd like to be kept in the loop even though I'd only be a listener.<br>

Wouldn't it better for the non-linguists to be included in such a discussion, rather than be copied in, since otherwise there is a risk of yet another silo which are never a good idea. It's much easier to prevent a silo than to get rid of them after they've
been created. It's not that difficult to just press the delete button..and I'd prefer to have this option than to remain oblivious.

expresses an interest and then either set up a separate list or just make a cc-list for the purposes of this discussion.<br>

<p>Folks,</p>
<p>I'm just putting out a feeler to see if there is interest in continuing the syntax morphology discussion online.</p>
<p>It seemed like Julie Brittain's paper on Sunday morning put us right in the middle of it again, but half of the folks were already gone by then.</p>
<p>Let me know if it's worth talking in this venue.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
