Why not do both?  I was happy to get the information to solve the problem
immediately from the collaboration, but I agree that Ken needs to know
these things.  How about if, when we post to the group about a new
problem, we make sure that Ken gets a copy, if it involves MEDM 2.3.3.  
Would we want to do something similar for the 2.4.x versions, or is posting
to the group enough?

What do you think, Ken?
