That is not quite what I said, though -- to me, this paraphrase of
what I said is not accurate.  For me, this project (which goes far
beyond being a mailing list) has a very large scope; and I have no
intention of narrowing the scope of what I want to do.

I think my point in making this reply is to make it clear that I
am somewhat taken aback any time anyone else tries to say what my goal
is or ought to be.  (To be fair to Brian, he is not the only one to
have done this.)

However I end up presenting this issue in the report, I will no doubt
make it clear that this point was both of high interest and all felt
it to be important.
