Hello all! I've only posted to the list a couple of times but do enjoy
reading it.

The above discussion was obviously fairly harmless but I've seen a
technical mailman list descend into anarchy before when a similar issue was
discussed publicly. While privately emailing the list leader may have
seemed excessive, a message to the whole list can be a lot worse. Since
this issue was just querying a joke, probably the best response would have
been for people to email Markus directly? Either party can later talk to
the list or leader if they want.

Just my view, apologies if there are aspects I've misunderstood.

Best wishes,
George Bateman.
