[ga] Suspension of Dierker, Fleming, Walsh, Williams

["Patrick Corliss" <patrick@quad.net.au>]

Hi William

It is appropriate to respond on the [ga] list.  However, I don't believe it
is an issue that warrants continuing discussion.

Under the current system, the List Monitors respond to complaints made.
They do not trawl through posts looking for a reason to suspend somebody.

Danny made a complaint publicly.  However, the list monitors were already
processing a number of complaints.  As you know, many of these were copied
to the persons complained about.

Both Kristy and Alexander perform their duties with care and the utmost
professionalism.  As you might be aware, there have been a large niumber of
complaints to deal with.

Any complaint made by Danny is treated in exactly the same way as a
complaint made by any other person.  The list monitors adjudicate based on
the merits of the complaint and not the status of the person making it.
