The wg was not consulted first. :-( Andy, I usually do not respond to threads like this because doing so further reduces S/N. My mail filter mostly suppresses such messages anyway. However since you decided to move an already off-topic and only marginally useful debate to the personal level I need to respond: The change intended to lower the barrier for feedback about our tools to this list. The rationale: it is quite counter-productive to ask people to provide feedback and then bounce it immediately requiring them to subscribe to a mailing list. I notified the WG chairs about this and they agreed to it. All this was done in prep for the RIPE meeting on very short notice. We will take more time for such changes in the future. > Maybe this can be fixed and lessons learned ? What fix do you propose? How would that fix have prevented the messages concerned? How would that fix provide a low threshold for feedback about tools to this list? Daniel
