Re[3]: [ga] Mailing List Abuse

["William X. Walsh" <william@userfriendly.com>]

In the quote section I meant to also include this statement from his
email:

"I'm more than happy to use my personal name except when it really is an
"official" posting if you and the other naysayers, Eric and Jeff (good
company you are in!!) agree to discount repostings when criticising me for
exceeding my posting limit."

Thus recognizing that those posts were not in fact official and that
he only reason for using the title was to attempt to circumvent rules
that everyone else must follow.  I stand by what I said as a factual
and ontopic criticism of the behaviors, statements, and actions of
this "Elected" official of the GA.

The full email will be made available to anyone who asks, since I am
in effect being called a liar by Patrick who is claiming that my
factual accounting of his actions is instead a baseless personal
attack.

Or better yet, I'll put it on the web.
