Now I see that you replied to SR's post of 21 hours ago.  It just
appeared to me that you replied to a post of Parmnder's from 3 hours
ago.   Deepest apologies for any confusion.

I never replied to Parminder as

On the contrary, well "qualified" folk have weighed in the last few
days, and we now have, seemingly more folk who think exclusion is not
such a good idea than have expressed the notion that such exclusion is
a good idea.  I'd say that is progress towards a solution.

Confirmed.  Please share your opinion on this vital topic, including
your view on the hypothetical case where journalists would be
excluded, and how we could make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen
going forward.
