You forgot funny.
Anyway, for the record, the last message I sent to that thread -
itself quite obviously (from its content) intended to be my last
message on that thread - was never posted.
Also for the record, I emailed Austin Hair twice for an explanation of
the block, and his one terse reply indicates that he must be
overworked and in need of some relief.
Note also that anytime someone is blocked/moderated from a public or
open list, its a common-sense requirement that the list be given
notification of the block/moderation, along with an explanation of
why. This is standard practice on wikien-l, and I don't quite
understand how or why foundation-l can or should do things any
differently.
