Well, up to the point at which your message hit the lists, we were having a quiet, civilised discussion, and Hans-Petter had just reminded us of what the franchise of each list is. On 25-Apr-2000 Rami Al-Lolah wrote:

If we accept that RIPE has a duty to its members and is under the obligation to serve them, and as such that this mailing list is for its members, then messages to local-ir/lir-wg shouldn't really be considered as public, but as informational for the members of RIPE. In other words, INTERNAL. Or are non lir individuals allowed on these lists?
local-ir is restricted to members of the RIPE NCC Association lir-wg is an open list to all interested in policy matters, see http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/lir/index.html for its charter and other info related to this workinggroup.
For a period of time almost all discussions has taken place in the open forum (lir-wg).
There is however a very low overlap between local-ir and lir-wg so I for one have started sending anouncements to multiple lists.
Btw, the "which lists is for what" has been on the slides for the last couple of LIR meetings.
Sincerely, Hans Petter Holen LIR-WG chair
