[Foundation-l] Leaking (was:elections)

[Mark Williamson]

I think it's fairly obvious considering who it was who publicly
objected to Jimmy's e-mail.

HOWEVER, there was no rule against what she did, and I trust that she
had logical reasons for requesting to know the results because I think
she is a trustworthy person.

I also don't see any reason for laying blame. Okay, we know who it
was, so what? We're not going to punish them because technically they
did nothing wrong. It's in the past.

Rather than trying to get all upset about what happened, why don't we
instead focus our energy on trying to make sure it doesn't happen
again?
