[at-l] Fw: Appalachian Trail Thru-hikers' Companion

[jbryankramer@msn.com (J Bryan Kramer)]

Private email? I'd have to say it sounds more like the dreaded Official
Notice to me than a private communication. I don't see anything wrong with
disclosure of an Official Notice.

The way this was phrased and presented was wrong too, it should have been
more in the line of: here are the details of some complaints that we have
received, what is your response? Then if the response is inadequate there
should be an Official Warning! type notification. if these are anonymous
complaints then they should be sent straight to the bit bucket.
