OOPS: Possibly too much information from the Library board

Did no one but me notice that private emails among library board members were being displayed on the meeting room screen throughout the June 16 meeting? The board president, Susan Mackey-Kallis, had her Outlook inbox up on the screen for all to see.
In one email that was circulated in preparation for the board meeting, the board members were pondering whether a certain topic should be discussed in public or in private: "I'm inclined to do it all in the open. We aren't making any decision, just having a discussion and possibly a straw poll vote. We don't have enough board members to have a binding vote. So, open. But let's reserve the option when we see the lay of the land tomorrow night," the message read.
In another library-related email -- the context was unclear -- a board member wrote, "None. But he can [expletive] off. I'm not writing a white paper."
