While we are at speaking as oneselfs: Another example I'd find un-acceptable is astro-turfing or using sockpuppets to make it appear like an opinion is carried by many people.
My message could have been missinterpreted as it was in reply to your email. So just to clarify: it was meant as a general question, while discussing what is supposed to be acceptable on this list.
I am not aware of any astro-turfing or sockpuppets on this list.
== Details As always I've put some email addresses in a search engine if people refer to their experience to better understand what they mean, as a number of people run a blog or are involved in other organisations. The background is that some spam and chatbots are getting more and more sofisticated and if a message is phrased very generally or very provocative it does not makes sense to respond to the questions. It just unlikely that an email address is used the first in public only on this list. I've asked Daniel about two email addresses, because I found the exchange with the quoted HTML email and him strange and hope to clear up unwritten suspicions some may have.
Best Regards, Bernhard
