[ga-abuse] WARNING OF PUBLIC ATTACK

["Alternate Chair" <patrick@quad.net.au>]

Hi Danny

Can you advise me what the procedures are for setting up new mailing lists,
please.  I have been very careful not to criticise you in public but I am
rather annoyed that a new mailing list was set up without any consultation.
Did you instruct Elisabeth Porteneuve to do this?

What is the point of setting up new sublists if you, our Chair, won't use
them yourself?  More to the point, why do you not communicate with your own
Alternative Chair.

How is it that you get Elisabeth to do what you want when I have been asking
for weeks to eliminate the returned mail and other junk.  Does Elisabeth get
a copy of the two hundred returned emails I get a day because Roeland Meyer
has problems with his servers?  Do you get them?

As I do not get any response from you in private I will wait a few days
until you are settled in after Stockholm and then attack you in public.
Meanwhile:

PLEASE DON"T YOU OR ELISABETH DO STUFF WITHOUT TALKING TO ME FIRST.

I'm fed up with your "big chief" attitude, believe me.

Regards
Patrick Corliss
