This is simply not true. All one needs to do is publish a
crucial document relevant to the working groups charter,
and important to understanding the rest of the work, and
one will be inundated with questions.
Then maybe message traffic is not a reliable indicator of
"disturbance"; in which case those here who attempt to associate the
two are either naïve or disingenuous.
Debate on work in progress is critical, must be in public
at least much of the time and will usually involve a small
number of people - authors in particular - who simply must
participate.
So why is it bad when a small number of people consistently disagree
and post many messages in consequence? How can you have critical
public debate without lots of message traffic and disagreement?
