Er.. to sidetrack the discussion a little for a moment.

mailing lists are not always 100% reliable.  Another list I have had 
admin access to, as well as being a regular member, occasionally stops 
working for one user.  It's always a different user, and the fix is 
always the same.  Unsubscribe, re-subscribe.  Why?  Because it is so 
rare we just do not have the time/resources to try to fix the problem, 
and we don't want to blow away the list (and recreate it), which will 
loose the archive and member list, just to fix such a rare issue.

The point is that if your messages do not show up on the list, first 
thing, check to make sure you actually addressed it to the list. 
Second, make sure your email account actually sent it.  Third, assume a 
problem with the list and report it as such, so that any appropriate 
actions or instructions can be implemented.

IF you have done all that and your messages still do not show up, 
chances are you are being censored.  Anyone being censored (or banned), 
normally has done something to cause that action.  It is usually NOT 
politics at play, as is being implied in this case.

What I'm seeing right now is a very healthy discussion that will make SL 
stronger.  Deiter's responses to some may seem odd, but I just assume 
that is his cultural background (i.e. Germans usually seem very blunt 
and demanding, middle eastern folks always seem upset, etc... in my OWN 
expericne of course).  If you look past the bluntness and/or perceived 
insults, and you STILL got the answer to your problem/question/comment, 
then chances are there was no intentional insult.

We'll see where the Fork is a year from now... :)

And with that, I'm done with this conversation.  I could add more, and 
point out a few contradictions in statements, but the log will do that 
for anyone who reads all messages.  As far as the security issue is 
concerned, it's old news, and we're beating a dead horse now.

peace out.
