I have no problem with the bot's mails. I do have a problem with those
being complained about as if they were a significant problem.
You're definitely entitled to your opinion, but you did not get IETF consensus, did you?
Bot emails are banned by the list charter in any reasonable reading.
I thought of some other ways to respond. I didn't do them, but here they are:
1) Send an email summary of list emails over the past 24 hours (too frequent, very bad)
2) Send the summary email a few hours before the usual bot
3) Characterize the content of the emails in an automatic way, but using a metric decided by the author
I think we can all agree those actions would be bad behavior. So, what's different here?
Write a draft and get consensus. What is so mysterious about that process?
thanks,
Rob
