That's patently absurd. It's not _my_ fault that a bunch of messages
from _other_ people are being silently discarded.
(As I said before, there have been more than 100 messages in the past
three months on namedroppers labelled as coming from non-subscribers,
only a small fraction of those being mine. Furthermore, Bush has
silently discarded several of my recent messages. If we believe Bush's
claim that he isn't selectively targeting my messages, the only
reasonable conclusion is that he has silently discarded a huge number of
messages overall, only a small fraction being mine.)
Most namedroppers contributors who don't post from subscription
addresses are, presumably, people who don't watch the list at all---for
example, people from other lists involved in cross-posted discussions.
How are they supposed to find out about the problem?
I do tend to watch the list. I noticed the problem. I pointed it out.
That doesn't mean I'm the only person with the problem.
If the problem is fixed _for me_, but not _for everybody_, then it
hasn't gone away. The procedures are still broken. Legitimate messages
to namedroppers---potentially quite valuable messages---continue to be
thrown away.
