I distributed Dan Hammond's message, even though it gave me pause, because he was responding to the conference announcement.

Since then, I have received two messages rebutting Hammond, but I do not believe they are within the bounds of this list: the history of economic thought, broadly defined. Thus, I am not distributing those messages.

I wanted to let everyone know this so you do not spend time composing a message that I do not distribute.

I trust you understand my reasoning and I remain

Your obedient moderator,

Humberto Barreto
