Obviously, I was not clear enough.
There was no "secret decision" by some occult power.

In absence of somebody whose task would be to "take responsibility for 
the decisions", the decisions were taken by the technical staff, whose 
expertise is technical, but not "legal" or "political".

Were the wrong decisions taken? Maybe. But I would not feel to throw 
stones at Elisabeth (or other technical staff) for the lack of 
direction.

Now the situation has changed, and you have the target for the stones: 
it is me, and Harald. Please let Elisabeth and the other technical staff
 do their technical work in peace.

Not at all.
My proposal was to mark "off-topic" the few messages that were DNS-
related, like the one from John Lewis (http://www.dnso.org/clubpublic/ga
/Arc03/msg01227.html), to make them recognizable, and allow people to 
browse the archives without taking the risk of opening one of them ;>).
