I have to admit that I, too, hesitated what that statement was
supposed to mean. Jean-Christophe, it would really be nice to raise
your complaints on the mailing list, and without too long delays, so
we can discuss things.

Again, I agree 100%. Jean-Christophe, please share your concerns on
the mailing list, and without so long delays after the postings. It
is not your job as a custodian to fix everything yourself. It is
sufficient (and actually usualy much better, think for example about
the long-term educational aspect) just to raise your concerns and ask
the original poster to change things (or maybe he has good reasons
for doing it this way, which you didn't see). But please keep such
discussion on the mailing list, and without big delays.  Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
