The way the process played out the other day was that the moderator
started out by not being happy about the email, and then a moderator
dug in to ask who was it that sent them to the list. Neither of those
seem to be in the prescribed process, nor are they reasonable
processes.

I'm not really sure why this would be a board thing, or who the board
represents, what they preside over, or really any other information.
