Someone pointed out to me off‐list that I had quoted too little to give
the context.  Here’s the same with more context:

Too many assumptions.  It _is_ something that some of our members are
interested in, after all some were involved with the DRM protests
outside the BBC building.  It isn’t necessarily something all of our
members are interested in.

Please don’t make the mistake of deciding what people are interested in
without [involving] people.

I did, but perhaps my response was a little too “snappy”.  I didn’t mean
it to be and I apologise if it came across that way.
