None here are public officials, this is a private corporation even if
it's of public utility.

And even public officials, you can get their mail but there will still
be private information kept private.

If all would be public you'd be the first complaining and saying that
it's so rude to talk about specific case, before a decision is made and
share the information publicly.

If there's a private sharing of information then haven't it ever passed
thru your mind that it can be related to the need to keep confidential
information ? For example, private and personal information regarding
someone.

The same as a jury decision is public, the deliberate are not.

Oh, by the way, nice to meet you ! Seems odd that you are new to this
mailing list and have some much interest in this debate. And so close on
the timeline since someone else had left...
