Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Kerala Legislative Assembly has moved to Free Software and Libreoffice

Hi :)
Sadly the Board can't do much.

At best they can stop everyone else on the mailing list from seeing
whatever Urmas posts but they can't stop him/her from simply using "Reply
to" or "reply to all" to post off-list messages to anyone posting to the
list.  It would take much for them to do something even more damaging
without the mailing list as a whole being aware of it.  On another mailing
list Urmas has been accused of bullying people off-list.

The way the mailing lists used to be set-up was that using "Reply to" would
only go to the mailing list as a whole.  So back then to send to an
individual meant you would first have to find and then copy&pasting an
email address into the "To" or CC" fields.  That is all tooo complicated
for the average computer user so it gave a bit of security and meant things
like this could be dealt with fairly neatly.

Nowadays there is nothing we can do to make it difficult to send private
messages off-list.  All we can do is to pretend we don't know that people
get bullied off-list when they register on our mailing lists :(


Given all that i would rather know what is being said so that we can
usually support people if they do get attacked as a result of signing up
for these mailing-lists.
Regards from
Tom :)
