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

So, option C is pointing him to the register button. Quay is clearly off way base, but "allowing" him to post at least shows we're not afraid to take on a challenge.

In context

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

    Steve is indeed wrong - he doesn't understand phylogenetics (but A for effort). He can't post because he needs aninvitation to set up an account - I propose we don't give him that invitation since it's all crazy talk... (his 300+ page Bayesian analysis of the origin is a good example..)

    What's important about the two markets / two lineages isn't the fact that there are two lineages - it's that you have two independent lineages associated with two different markets. It's highly unlikely that a lab escape - of all places -would be associated with two different markets.

    I'm either going to A. ignore Dr. Quay or B. tell him that I'm going to forward the emails to virological administration. I'll follow @Andrew Rambaut advice on this. I'm leaning to A.

    Most people get so frustrated with not being able to find the register button that they end up emailing me.

    I'd just ignore him. Then Andrew can ignore him.

    There is no register button

    I'll just ignore him. He's likely expecting that - then he can tweet about me, which is not a problem.
