[anti-abuse-wg] Reminder: Mailing List Code of Conduct

Andre,

Thank you for your apology. We seem to live in an increasingly complex world and the trade-offs between convenient and open/free have never seemed quite so... difficult... to me at least.

Should you feel you can return to us at some point and engage in a continually constructive manner, you would be welcome.
