If there's one complaint certain people have made that we *SHOULD* take on board it's that at times NM isn't public enough! I certainly feel that the result of any progression from NM should be public, that is the final acceptation or rejection, needs to be available for everyone to read. I also heavily don't approve of discussing NMs here! That's what newmaint is for. There's a worrying tendency at the moment to madduck everything where possible. To be honest, the ONLY thing I would like to see on this mailing list is James' DAM rejection mails, and the subsequent vote for whether to tickle him or not. Once that vote has been carried to a rejection, there should be a post to newmaint with the actual rejection. Scott -- Have you ever, ever felt like this? Had strange things happen? Are you going round the twist?
