Sankar:

First of all, apologies on behalf of the design team for the two
sets of batch mail.

Of all of us on the team, Jim Whitehead is the most blameless, since
he flagged the two discussions that were going on off the mailing
list, and then did his best to remedy the error by at least dumping
the two threads to the mailing list.

The culprit was a mail alias for discussing the logistics of the
travel/lodging arrangements for the design team meetings, which
erroneously was used to start a couple of discussion threads. The
offending alias has been purged, and design team members are all
trying to excercise increased vigilance to ensure it doesn't reoccur.

Cheers,
Geoff

   I have to really issue a *very strong* protest to the design team. It is
   close to impossible for me to track responses and the interactions with the
   kind of batch forwarding that is going on. This is *not* conducive to an
   open process.

   Furthermore, one cannot go to the archive and see the discussion thread
   since most messages are being forwarded by Jim.

   Please! stop this.

   I appreciate what Jim is doing and I appreciate him taking the time.
   However, others in the design team should take it up on themselves to keep
   the process transparent.
