Nor was it > announced, either. Actually, since it wasn't announced, how was anyone supposed to know that you were testing new list software? But that is mostly a side issue, since I don't object to TESTING SOFTWARE in secret. > Erik chose to announce that there was an off-list conspiracy, as IF it > were some big secret. It was "some big secret". Apparently it was so secret that some of the people on the secret list didn't even know it was exclusive. > I would have preferred if he or anyone else who became aware of it > second-hand would have chosen to simply ask what's going on, instead > of assuming it's something negative. I would have preferred that you make an announcement that you were testing new list software with some of your friends, but that all discussions not related to basic testing and bug fixing be directed towards the main list. I also would have preferred you mention to the people you invited that not everyone was invited, so they would know not to discuss things that should involve the whole list. Surely you realize how badly you handled this situation, and don't really want to imply that I made a mistake by pointing it out? -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/
