I agree hole-heartedly.

"Need-To-Know" is a governments way of admiting to its people that its got a problem (its screwed up). Just how many people where reading the dev list when the laundry bag was emptyed. If someone wanted to know, i'de just email-em the back copys of the offending email. but im not about "who's got the biggest sword", so, if this is just about hiding sh*t, its too late for that.
