Ian, you've apparently missed some of the discussion. Notice (of the
message to members) was posted here so that members would find the
message in the members-only section of the SSA website.

The message itself was posted here, seemingly within seconds, due only
to the insensitivity of an individual. I can not imagine such
impropriety coming out of Germany (perhaps the UK). Not that it would
ever have been kept a secret, nor escaped being a topic of energetic
discussion for weeks here on r.a.s. in any event.
