Having said that, I should note that I often happen to be the main
listmaster who responds to public issues, but not always the main listmaster
who does the work because I also have many other things to attend to, so I
get irritated when someone tackles me like this. I should also mention that
I was the one who supported Santiago's acceptance to listmaster because I
believed that we could find a mutual understanding as far as attitude
towards spam and in general is concerned. So this pretty lame act of
throwing generic listmaster issues solely at myself only ends up being
indicative of a general lack of cooperative nature from him, something that
caused the non-acceptance to the group in the first place, and is therefore
not going to promote his cause, rather hinder it.
