Good question, JW,
Please DO NOT butt out. If it's said in the open forum, it's fair game.
It's just like any other meeting ... people have insider stuff in and share it in a generalized way.
Most meetings I've been to have interaction "rules". Pretty much the same thing.
When alluding to insider stuff, I just make sure to use the right emoticon.

(I use the winky thingie a lot.

)
I appreciate your concern. Thanks for your sensitivity. Don't worry about it.
What's on your mind, bro? I've appreciated your sharing. GIMME!
Love ya, brother,
