Query on how this was posted directly to the list.

On 14 April George Kirikos noted a problem with the .CAT monthly report. I saw 
the message and wrote to George directly, informing him that the error would be 
corrected (which it was yesterday), and that he could pass along my response to 
the list.

What followed from that email has confirmed to me that the GA list – which is a 
legacy of something that ceased to exist a long time ago – has passed the point 
of a viable cross-constituency discussion list.

Jeff’s email was a personal attack, but I suppose that is nothing new because 
he’s been doing it for years, nothing ever gets done about it, and he’s usually 
ignored as I should have done. I thought this list had self-moderated and that 
Debbie was the proper person to address the issue. I thank Debbie for trying. 
I’ve been in this community a long time, and should know better than to even 
bother with this. But it did bother me, because I, and other staff, do try to 
be responsive to community concerns, even when they come from call corners of 
the community.

This will be the last time I engage this list. There are many great ways to 
communicate and participate in public discussion, on issues of importance 
relating to the Internet and its unique identifiers. This is not one of them.
