To everyone:

I would ask that you please refrain from following up to posts like
this, no matter how provocative they may feel.  I've started a private
discussion with Alexandre and with the other admins of this list.

My goal is to get this resolved without a lot of noise on the list.

(Yes, I had to violate the follow-up rule to post this, but that's a
meta situation.)

Thanks,
-Karl
