Re: Article on the EDUCAUSE breach e-mail

[Kevin Halgren <kevin.halgren () WASHBURN EDU>]

No faux pas in my view, they don't have to ask and this is effectively a 
public forum, doing so is a courtesy.  Even on private forums and 
internal communications everything that I write in my work capacity is 
subject to open records requests.  Almost anything I write on a 
day-to-day basis could end up in the news.

Personally I prefer having government communications in whatever 
capacity be open, we just need to remember that what we post here (and 
elsewhere) is for all intents and purposes posted publicly and for 
posterity and ensure that what we post is appropriate.
