It is, however, undeniably true, that actually keeping secrets in a 
large group is very, very difficult -- especially if those secrets 
have any value (such as a competitive strategy that depends on 
surprise).  Thus, trying to hatch a secret plot among 200 online 
users isn't just a bad idea -- it's basically stupid. 
We all know that our actual competitors have essentially full access
to both the PAB list and the CORE list. 
Yes, let's plot a super strategy that *depends* on the element of
surprise...  now that would *really* be giving our competitors an
advantage.
