Dear Geoff: Congratulations! I think MUSEUM-L is indeed a very great
resource for timely issues such as the one you brought up. And I'm sure you
& your colleagues have made the proper decision based on a sense of
common ethical values, within your own particular institutional framework. I
appreciated reading your message.
