    We can depict another example how we were PS-ed.  A fresh case
I remember was on V1141 Aql.

    On early (in UT) 1999 October 1, we have personally received from
Patrick Schmeer to "please check V1141 Aql".  He subsequently sent
us privately preliminary CCD magnitude estimate of 16.  No announcement
was publicly made by Patrick at that time.

    Later on 1999 October 1, Rod Stubbings visually detected this
outburst (vsnet-obs 23535).

    Patrick Schmeer quickly informed his outburst detection to vsnet-alert
(vsnet-alert 3541), without mentioning Stubbing's detection.

    Patrick Schmeer sent (again privately) a message on Oct. 3 to request
for high-speed photometry.  I can't resist myself to forward this e-mail
to vsnet-alert (vsnet-alert 3546).  I can't understand his motivation
why to call for detailed observations (of such an *important* outburst,
as he suggested in vsnet-alert 3541) only privately.
