[Callers] ? for chris or seth

Earlier (a year or two ago) I e-mailed sharedweight a question or  
comment about squares.  It never got sent around.
At the time, I figured someone was filtering the various e-mails and  
wanted to make sure the discussion was geared only towards contra.   
Fine.  Now I see that others can send questions etc. about squares.   
Am I being treated any differently than other people who are signed  
up for sharedweight?

When I recieve an e-mail from sharedweight, the question and the  
answers are in the same e-mail!!!  It must be that the others get to  
see the question and then answer it before I get to see the  
question.  Am I left out of the loop -like you're afraid that I'm  
always going to jump in with my 2 cents (maybe because I'm an  
experienced caller).

If this is the case, I just want you to know that I rarely want to  
respond to the questions and requests.  I also realize that it's very  
important for the new callers to voice their opinion and have a  
discussion.

Am I being treated differently from the others?

Tom
