There were two responses, both from people who (17+ years later) I believe weren’t exactly enthused about the additional transparency this created. I’m very much for transparency. Disclaimer: I’m also very specifically part of the (mostly silent) consensus that has supported receiving these weekly messages since 2006, with a gap until JohnL filled it again. Thank you! Grüße, Carsten PS.: Tom had a constant subject "Weekly posting summary for ietf@xxxxxxxx”. This alone was not enough to get my mail reader to thread the messages. The message-id of the first message was <200601262014.k0QKE2nU012126@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, in case you want to reference that to obtain threading.
