Dear Noel, It's unfortunate, but I know of no way to tell the difference between an email address that's the main point of contact for an organization and an email address that distributes to a huge mailing list. I sent email to ietf@xxxxxxxx, naively assuming that the Internet Engineering Task Force was established enough to have an office somewhere with a secretary who read the emails and forwarded those of interest to the appropriate people. Had I known ietf@xxxxxxxx was an email list, I wouldn't have emailed the list. However, having inadvertently done so, I hope I won't be accused of repeat mailbombing for sending this explanation in response to your accusation. If you'd like to suggest a way I can tell whether an email address represents a single individual or an email list, I'm all ears.

As a result, we all have such positive feeling about the FSF. Noel |
