Christopher Mahan stated for the record:
I would add that admins should not email users
privately since we
want to be able to trace their activity. If the administrator is
contacting the user via private email, it becomes a game of "he
said", "she said".
I agree most emphatically, but will add that some users forbid such
openness, demanding that "private messages" remain private.
I ignore such demands -- all messages sent to me related to arbitration
matters are promptly forwarded to the ArbComm mailing list.
