It is not my intention (or "determination") to "inflict" them on you - it
is my intention to make it clear that I think these messages and the
discussion that prompted them are in some way the joint responsibility of
all members of this community, not just me. (See Gerald Cohen's thoughtful
and sensitive note.) If you ever receive such notes for a similar reason,
I hope that you will share them with the relevant community.
