Official Statement

[J. van Baardwijk]

To my fellow Brinellers,

I hereby offer my sincere apologies for my part in all this mess and for the disturbance it caused, and I also offer my sincere apologies to Nick for trying to gain access to his server. I promise that I will do everything within my capabilities to prevent escalations, flame wars and other nastiness from happening again.

As a first sign of good will, you may notice when looking at the "From:" field of this message that the return address is now once again my own e-mail address.

I hereby request that the listowners restore my posting privileges to the list, and without moderation.

I also urge the list to discuss the matter of "list policy", so that we can reach a list-wide agreement on what behaviour will and will not be tolerated, and what steps should be taken if and when something happens that this list deems "unacceptable". IMHO, only a clear and well-documented list policy may prevent mayhem like these last few weeks from happening again.

This list has been too much fun and too interesting to let it go to hell...

Salam Alaikum / Sholom Aleichem.


Jeroen van Baardwijk
