On three separate occasions I have either told 24 about the mailing list or 
invited him/her to join in --- if for no other reason than to see what we are 
up to with policy and other discussions. Each time, I even included a link to 
the mailing list wikipedia page for his/her convenience. 

FYI here is something 24 has recently wrote in response to a statement I made 
about contacting the mailing list about his/her actions 
(from [[Talk:Military fiat]]):

"you are quite welcome to have a "party" or "clique" discussion on what your 
mailing list clique wishes to do about the Governance of this project.  I 
will proceed as I am until someone writes a [[m:Status quo]] that identifies 
some action of mine as a problem, or until someone else achieves consensus on 
a means of [[m:Governance]] on the project now that Larry is gone. -24" (I of 
course had to sign 24's comment for him/her -- still doesn't get that 
convention either...)

If I read this right, then this person is purposely trying to force us into 
joining his "wikipedia governance" project! And if we don't, 24 will continue 
doing the same darn things in the same way as he/she is already doing them. 

I don't know about ya'all, but I don't like being coerced. 

Some more stuff 24 has been up to:
