Re: [ga-abuse] Complaint Against Jeff Williams

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand <harald@Alvestrand.no>]

Patrick,
a theoretical concern:

"if a tree falls in the forest, and there is nobody around to hear it, is 
there a sound?"

In point of fact, Jeff Williams' message was not posted to the GA list, 
since he is currently suspended - and the list rules read "messages on the 
GA list".
I have thought that when the rules are next amended, this should be changed 
to "messages posted to the GA list", exactly for this reason. But it does 
not read that way now.

(BTW - I get copies of the bounced mail; Jeff Williams exceeded the posting 
limit by a factor of 2 on the 11th and the 18th.....better make ready to 
suspend him again when he gets back.)

Thoughts from the rest of you?

          Harald
