I am sad to hear this.
Do I understand you correctly that we cannot expect any public info from
you on the matters of your tasks as ftpmaster until a noise-free
mailinglist can somehow be created/maintained?
I do not mean to put words in your mouth. If you describe only an ideal
situation for you, but can live with less, I apologize for putting the
question so awkwardly before: I am really eager to hear from you about
matters of your ftpmaster tasks. What would be _sufficient_ for you to
participate in talking about it?
