in thread Please unconsider

If monk A was /msg'ing the author BEFORE consideration, there wouldn't be a way to signal to monk B-Z that they shouldn't do the same thing in the meantime.

Is there any reason for monks B-Z not to message the author as well (other than duplication of effort)? If an author gets one private message about their formatting they might think the sender an oddball outlier. If they get 20 they might pay more attention.

If you really want to let others know, just mention it in the CB.

    I totally agree with you, hippo (fwiw).
