[lilycore-dev] Re: Remove need for /clear command (PR#529)

Jack,

  It is embarrassing to provide the same pat answer twice in a row to what are
clearly well thought out defect reports, but I must do so. The behavior you
describe is entirely by design in lily because of how the permissions structure
operates. If I am going to take a public discussion private, then it is crucial
for me to be able to note those users who should retain access during that
transition. The mechanism for that is to permit users explicitly to the
discussion.
  Again, though you could argue this issue at length lily operates this way by
virtue of its design. Deven Corzine, in Phoenix, chose a different approach, and
his mechanism is very much like what you describe. Once more a good idea remains
a good idea, and your point is well taken.
