I went ahead and did this. I sent a copy of Joop's Polling Booth
announcement, with a brief covering note of explanation, to the 17 e-mail
addresses that were on Vittorio's list but not also on Joop's list. Doing it
"BCC" took me a little longer than it would have by putting all the names in
the "Mail to" field; but it is a nod to privacy. (We should be examples of
what we want cyberspace to become.)
