Ronald, I'm glad you aren't offended/upset, but I agree with Randy's interpretation, especially as the initial email added no light/signal to the conversation at all. Despite what may be believed the Co-Chairs don't like putting people in moderation, but we will if we have to. However I suspect that X-posting to a list like apnic-talk may not be the wisest idea, given the different populations etc, and I suspect that's what led to the other exclamation of surprise. I'm not saying information should be hidden, but perhaps two separate emails might be, sadly, needed?

Amongst the greatest mysteries of the shady underbelly of the internet: how to pronounce "Guilmette"
speaking of anti-abuse; back in the '80s we agreed that making fun of others' typos, misspellings, personal names, etc. was impolite.
I do not believe the original poster was making fun of my name, and I likely would not take exception even if the OP had done so. There have certainly been far more scurrilous and disturbing things said about me personally, on various mailing lists, so I am somewhat inoculated against taking too much offense nowadays about virtually anything personal. If one is fortunate to live long enough, one develops a thick skin. Regards, rfg
