Yes, buug at weak.org was in jaimef at mauthesis.com's list of recipients on the mail (of his) that I received and to which I replied-all. Something like: To: Rick Moen Cc: buug at weak.org If I had to speculate, it might have been that jaimef at mauthesis.com had posted from a non-subscribed address, such that Mailman then discarded or rejected his posting, such that subscribers other than me didn't get copies. Not really my concern: I'm not the listadmin. Point is, I reasonably interpreted what I'd received as being a mailing list posting, because the author's headers said it was one. OK? I am not jaimef at mauthesis.com's keeper. Nor am I a free-of-charge public utility for analysis of other people's SMTP puzzles. > > > I will now assume that cross-posting is o.k. > > > > Your statement appears to be non-sequitur > > My guess was that you know him from another list or another context > that I am not included in, and that you quoted him into our > discussion. _Why_ am I obliged to explain why your statement was non-sequitur, Karen? Can't you figure it out? You stated that you had concluded that 'cross-posting is o.k.', thus implicitly assuming that I'd cross-posted. As you should have understood long before now, your assumption was simply incorrect: I had not cross-posted. Therefore, your assumption that my cross-posting made cross-posting OK was non-sequitur (even if it were true that my doing X automatically makes X OK, which is obviously not a rational conclusion even if it is at least a tiny bit flattering). Now, please, if there are aspects of mailing list management that you're having a problem with, kindly cease bothering me, your fellow subscriber. I don't even administer this mailing list. Like Zaphod Beeblebrox, I'm just this guy, y'know? I shouldn't be obliged to waste huge amounts of time for no better reason than (speculating) jaimef at mauthesis.com attempting to post from an unsubscribed address and you then being unable to figure out what happened and posting bad guesses about it. Please don't bother me again about this. Thank you.

Would you please explain two things for me: 1 - where was anyone outright rude to you due to your sex? 2 - when did anyone in this thread abuse you (either for being over 40, or for being female). So far I've seen nothing but polite insistence of research, with pointers to where you can get more information. I guess it's actually three questions. 3 - what broken MIT stuff?

From my perspective, all I did was post a one-line humourous reply-all response to a rather oddly impassioned advocacy posting from some guy I don't know, and all of a sudden you're pestering me about that _other_ guy. It seems to me that, if anyone, you should be bothering jaimef at mauthesis.com and not me. Thank you for your attention to such matters.

For our Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2011-06-21 meeting, we're proud to present: 2011-06-21 Stefano Maffulli on FreedomBox[1] Title: Get to know the FreedomBox project Abstract: The FreedomBox is a generation of smart devices whose engineered purpose is to work together to facilitate free communication among people, safely and securely, beyond the ambition of the strongest power to penetrate, they can make freedom of thought and information a permanent, ineradicable feature of the net that holds our souls. The project started because social networking and digital communications technologies are now critical to people fighting to make freedom in their societies. Think of the revolutions in the Egypt and Lybia. Stefano Maffulli will give an overview of the aim of the project, give an update on its status and provide information to start hacking on it. Stefano Maffulli, long time free/libre software advocate, former Italian Chancellor of Free Software Foundation Europe, helped Europe reject the directive on software patents and in the European antitrust trial against Microsoft. Worked as community manager for open source company Funambol and later at Twitter, taking care of user growth in Italy. Currently helping the FreedomBox Foundation reach its goal. 1. http://freedomboxfoundation.org/ See also a bit further below for some additional goodies we'll have at this meeting (CDs, etc.) So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to: rsvp at balug.org **Why RSVP??** Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and dining arrangements and such.
