Good illustration of what I think is worth discussing here. (We should probably change the subject line at some stage unless we tire of the topic.) My perception of this thread: - There is no *significant* problem (with the bot mails). - People who I guess prefer not seeing general chit-chat on our mailing lists perceive a problem (with the bot mails). - Some of those people complain with a view to perfecting the universe (perfection I guess having no bot mails;-) Those complaints IMO lack balance and tolerance. I think that's a pattern that's been repeatedly seen in recent years. I think that pattern overall damages rather than improves how people interested in IETF topics communicate. I don't at all question the bona-fides of anyone involved. More balance and tolerance of different opinions would be better I think. S.
