Right, like that's a surprise....

Ok, simple question -- if an officer can not use lists, even lists where 
they are known to particiapate, to make official statements -- why must 
officers be careful to distinguish between opinions and official comments by 
email to lists?  In other words, if something can NOT exist in the first 
place, isn't protecting against it silly/redundant/a waste of time?
