Lir,

Hmmmm, I would like you to cool down and allow time
for things to proceed.

This week end, we had a meeting in Paris, so
essentially, Angela, Jimbo and I were unavailable.
Allow people to have time on their own, to meet
happily for the first time in their lives, to meet
with many of those with whom they have been sharing so
much online. Jimbo will be away for a few more days of
holidays. Angela will be off till tuesdays at least. 

I think that I spent most of my last night online
trying to decipher the issue you had with Guanaco, and
the conclusion of it, was that it had been a not very
good move from Guanaco, misunderstanding from his
part, but mostly unclear policy with regards to sock
puppets. Sannse agreed to try to work with others on
this policy, so that things are clearer. I thought
this was essentially your request : that things are
clearer. 

I have no idea of the last events, and frankly, right
now, really no time to look at it. I do agree that
Guanaco move last week was too quick but I also think
it really was done in *good faith*.

I suggest that you explain what happened to the
arbitration committee if you really feel that it is
important. If there is need to sign up somewhere so
that this happen, just tell me. I hope the AC will
consider your request. I am talking about what
happened with Guanaco last week, not later events I
know nothing about.

This said, I mostly hope that a clearer policy is set,
so that new sysops have clear guidelines. I know
Guanaco did not mean bad.

Thanks
