RE: [atlarge-discuss] icannatlarge.com
I believe the concern was regarding individual liability as a panelist.
All of this "take the risk, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it"
bravado (or "let the cards fall where they may") comes at a significant
*personal* legal and financial risk that is beyond the burden of what
anyone assumed when they became a panelist.
What Joanna, Walter and Bruce did was entirely appropriate, given the
advice of private counsel and the extraordinary circumstances.
