This distinction has long become irrelevant, as people abuse names and
terms like "symposium" seem to mean anything you want.  More to the
point, it doesn't matter what you call it: it's the policy that
determines whether you can re-publish or not.

While I sympathize w/ Emery's concern, I think any policy at all is a
good idea given the current intellectual cloud over this matter, and
this one is *not unreasonable* (intentional double-negative).
