Since I co-administered that mailing list -- remember I co-founded the IMC 
-- I can assure you that the non-IANA tld-based addresses were not allowed 
to remain in the mailing list.

Yes, one or more was auto-subscribed into the list.  However they didn't 
work, instead just generating a bounce message for every posting.  So they 
were as quickly removed.

Simon, by any chance did you notice how smoothly you moved from making an 
incorrect assertion, to using the response about its falseness for 
generating an-related claim attack?

This makes other claims about lunches and statements of support wonderfully 
credible.

Thank YOU.
