Hi, I would like to register a gripe. I have been unhappy with my interactions with TC39 since things started happening more in F2F meetings and private mails than online. I wish that people would do things more on es-discuss. As an example:

The discussion has people participating that never post on the list. Note that in this particular case the semantics of a return() are fully specified with the old agreed semantics if return() is implemented as an exception.
