I haven't discussed Sam's request with him in detail, but I do not see it as change in process. Rather, we are continuing our policy of moderating the list to try to keep it civil and livable. We occasionally do that by asking posters to occasionally take some time out, or take particular discussions elsewhere, if a thread appears to be going off the rails. Here are some recent examples from me: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Feb/0203.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Feb/0143.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jan/1221.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jan/0901.html In all these cases I asked people to hold off on their posting, or only post if they had new information to add. The goal here is to keep the list from being bogged down by long threads that don't seem to be producing good results. Reviewing the ISSUE-30 thread, upon reviewing it, it seems to me that both you and Tab got a little overheated. I have to admit that in retrospect, I am not sure my posts on the thread were very helpful either. So it seems like a good idea to take the discussion off the list for a bit and see if we can come back with some constructive input. Reards, Maciej
