No. ONE of the overseers replies from a personal email address that bounces, because as the address clearly says, you should contact him via the list, not his personal address. And the relevant list is the overseers one, not this one. > I'd call that impolite. No, it's impolite to ignore his request and try to reach him personally, rather than via the list. It's perfectly reasonable to say "please use the mailing list instead of emailing me personally". I do that all the time when people reply to me off-list after looking for help on gcc-help.
