As far as I am aware, the MLM of ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org is the central authority of the state of the mailing list, and everything else is just syndication. You're arguing that because ruby-talk is syndicated means it's uncontrollable? Bullshit. Unless I'm confused the MLM is the central authority. And, oh by the way, as I referenced in the OP, the MLM is subject to some pretty ridiculous security vulnerabilities. Anyone can unsubscribe anyone from ruby-talk, so long as the read it via e-mail. That's silly. -- Tony Arcieri Medioh! A Kudelski Brand --000e0cd6d04e41e4f4048440235c--
