@Anders: I seem to have unintentionally derailed your excellent

Agreed that not showing them or remaining skeptical rather than learning to
use them better will be a proviso
Sam, I am quite concerned that you would use a public mailing list to
express your displeasure about a specific individual's block on a
particular project, without ensuring that you had your facts straight. It
is unfair not only to the project involved, but to the person who is
blocked: nobody

Before you do that in the future, perhaps it would be a good idea to
understand why a project had to, after years of trying to work with a
valued editor and to mitigate the problems caused, finally remove him from
the project.
