FOIA, records and transparency

Recipients on this medium are inferred from channel membership, not per-message addressing.

Looking through the FOIA material - sad to see all the juicy stuff isn't there. We can assign roles to each character based on this - Bob's clearly "The Nerd", I'm clearly "The Schemer", Butt Lesion "Who?", so we only need Eddie and Andrew...

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    I was thinking of a shorter, more direct response

    Dear Fox, I suggest Steve looks up "Gain of Function" in a dictionary as a start. I might also suggest an online cause in basic science - edX is a great start. Yours, Eddie

    "The material is a bit complex to most people without a scientific background..." They totally nailed that part. Hence maybe Steve should not even attempt...

    Oh, so tempting.

    Eddie - "Supreme Commander", Andrew "Part Nerd, Part Schemer".

    I think I'm more "The Fiddler" than the "Supreme Commander". I don't do leadership well.

    "The Fiddler" - I like that... I don't know though - I think you do the "Commander" part pretty well. Whether supremeor not, is up for debate....

    One question to the FOIA though - I _do_ think we need to make the reviews public as the emails make the Nature connection clear. The original version of the paper is still what's on Virological, correct?
