This is nothing personal against you but can we stop this right now?
If anyone else wants to talk to Anthony about whether he is a "troll"
or not, do it in private and *off-list*.
I have already said this in a post to the list once
(http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2007-May/030030.html)
and I repeat my statement: Accusing each other of trolling in public
only stimulates flame wars and is not
in any other way helpful to this list. The next unlucky person who
decides to entertain the list with ad personam comments about other
subscribers risks being moderated.

Thank you
Michael
