Well I think you have just set the intent for the event that I should be
careful what I say or do since anyone is encouraged to blog my
statements or actions in their blog post. I will comply with
expectations, but I must say I had expected an intent that valued my
personal privacy higher for what was billed in my mind anyway as a
leadership training event.
