[Fwd: Re: [wg-review] Resumption of Review.]

Forwarded to the list, as I had replied to the copy that was sent to me,
that had no indication that it was also sent to the list.

I had forgotten the nature of the list; that replies default to the
individual, so that people use the Reply To All feature of their email
applications, to achieve an ever-increasing of the nuimber of copies of
messages, to increase bandwidth, and confuse people. Unfortunately, when
some use their Reply To All features, their applications appear to not
indicate that messages have been sent to both the mailing list and to
the individual, so that a recursively increasing number of copies of
message occurs, so as to congest the net.

Unfortunately, the mailing list administrator apparently chose to not
respond to my concerns about that...

I had ceased reading all emails with the [wg-review] prepend. I have
been getting around 300 emails per day, and, I have no time to worry
about emails that are in languages other than english (as I also do not
read messages
that are not in plain text, as a rule).

If your messages were sent with the prepend, then they may have got
missed.
