Ah, I took “I drew this to Matt’s attention privately” to mean some more personal form of communication (sometimes it seems like all the west coast (or at least SF Bay area) LWers all know each other IRL), andso this seemed like a reasonable place to offer public praise/reinforcement (given that I’m not in the bay area), both to you again for answering my original comment and to Matt for actually taking care of it. Sorry for any confusion; no other implication(s) were intended.

I think Matt lives on the east coast … of Australia.
Since I’d tell him by PM, I’m not clear on why there’d be any advantage to me telling him so over you.

He’s here in Melbourne. Our coast (and bay) is on the “south” side. But our state is the south-easterly one at least.
