:-) and now, illustrating Casey's point, I think, I will continue the 
thread outside of sprint participation!  Whee!

FWIW: I agree that a sprint moratorium on emails, critical or not, about 
sprint activities is a bit much.  And that sprinters should feel to 
ignore the emails until later--perhaps *must* ignore them.  And that we 
all hope that documentation and proposals will emerge from sprints.

Agreeably,
