[Mailman-Developers] observation from a bystander :) [long and boring]

[Peter Gervai]

Hello,

We personally exchanged some mail with Tomas and I think
we agreed that my mail was maybe too harsh for the situation,
so I apologize if anyone got offended.

It contained some questions still waiting to be answered, though :-))

(And maybe some ideas to be refined, especially the original on
mailman-users.)

best wishes,
grin
