Google+ ProKvetching: IMPORTANT, UPDATE ON A PRIVACY BUG.

As of this morning it appears that, if you "disable reshare" on a limited post, +mentions in comments (either by the original poster or by anyone else) no longer grant access to parties that did not originally have access to the post.

The original poster can still add people to the conversation by editing the post itself and +mentioning people.

This is a fix in the behavior I described on July 7 in this post: https://plus.google.com/113892479804684135897/posts/RAzAH6GUNmc, and addresses most of the privacy concerns I outline there. I've verified the new behavior in a test with +Trey Harris this morning.

Thanks to everyone on the Google+ team and community that helped get this fixed in a timely manner.
