Bush stuck the following note into the top of my latest message to namedroppers:
[ post by non-subscriber. with the massive amount of spam, it is easy to miss and therefore delete posts by non-subscribers. your subscription address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], please post from it or, if you wish to regularly post from an address that is not subscribed to this mailing list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask to have the alternate address added to the list of addresses from which submissions are automatically accepted. ] Okay, Bush: Put [EMAIL PROTECTED] on the list of addresses from which submissions are automatically accepted. Furthermore: Stop publishing private subscription addresses. This includes malicious actions by the list owner, accidents by the list owner, failure to configure the mailing-list software to keep subscription addresses private, etc. Furthermore: When you want to say something to a sender, say it in an immediate bounce message to that sender (which in this case would have been [EMAIL PROTECTED]), not in a stupid editorial note on the top of the sender's message to the list. You're perfectly aware that many senders don't read messages to the list. Furthermore: Stop delaying messages. The delay is unacceptable. The excuse for the delay, namely manual review, is also unacceptable. Under United States antitrust law, standard-setting procedures must ``prevent the standard-setting process from being biased by members with economic interests in stifling product competition''; your reviews plainly flunk this test. ---D.
