Re: namedroppers mismanagement, continued

I am not on the ietf or iesg list. I don't know if this will go through to
those lists.

While DJB may also have some subscription issue, that is not the
fundamental problem.

It seems from your comments below, that you think that Randy isn't
manually blocking/forwarding messages from subscribed addresses. However,
that it not true.

The real problem is that Randy sometimes don't post messages from people
he doesn't like or on topics he has an interest in, even when they are
posted from subscribed addresses.  This has happened to me several times.
One of the occasions where it happened to me is documented on Bernstein's
web page.  It has probably happened many more times that haven't made it
on DJB's webpage.

There seems to be no reason that Randy should set himself up as a
moderator, or any reason whatsoever there should be any manual
intervention on posting from subscribed addresses.  Do you agree?
