Two thing that Travis Plancke seems to have missed in posting this to the
list:
1) There is a private address for contacting the administrators, which,
because of the spiffy new footers, is available right at the bottom of
_every_ FFML post. Not only that, the e-mail addresses of Biles, White
Wholf, and myself are all available in the FAQ. Travis Plancke seems to
have either missed these facts or ignored them, and chosen to send his
"message to the service administerators" to the list as a whole.
2) The administrators of this list are responsible for the behaviour of
members of the list _on the list_, not off it. The alleged (and yes,
unless it appears on the list, as far as we're concerned, it _is_ merely
alleged) flame did not appear on the list, and thus, we won't do anything
about it.
This is a fine example of pointless spam, and toes the line of being in
violation of several sections of the FAQ--especially the part about not
bringing personal arguments between yourself and another listmember onto
the list, and the part about not posting private e-mail to the list.
Travis, consider this a public warning: don't post anything remotely
spammy for a while, because you came quite close to getting yourself
tempbanned with this message.
