That's incorrect. The moderator could stop me.
On the grounds that the creation of an alternative mailing list was off-topic? That would be quite a spectacle. Please do it, I'd like to see the results.
I'm quite happy with dns@list.cr.yp.to.
Also, it wouldn't matter if I made my own list, because any list I created would not be the official list of the DNSEXT working group.
So your beef is with IETF process (sanctioning restricted forums) rather than with the restrictedness of the forum? You think the IETF has some kind of monopoly on discussions of DNS's fine points and that because of this we ought to continue debating those fine points on other lists, like this one?
My beef is with the method of moderation practiced on the afforementioned list, as documented at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/namedroppers.html . Selectively discarding, ignoring and/or editing posts from people the list moderator doesn't like, even though they are consistent with the list's charter, does not, to me, fall within the borders of an acceptable or fair method of moderation. --Adam -- Adam McKenna <adam@flounder.net> | GPG: 17A4 11F7 5E7E C2E7 08AA http://flounder.net/publickey.html | 38B0 05D0 8BF7 2C6D 110A
