OK. I think I agree with you because the issue of keeping the NG 'clean' is
the motivation - as long as a dissenting opinion is encouraged to follow the
guidance off-group eventually.

Great. I think that's the process that should take place.

Good point. Part of this fracas was based on the understanding that you were
appealing to authority for something seen to be minor. And you seem to have
meant to be just moving the venue to a more appropriate place.
Suz, are you out there? Do you have an opinion? Should we have a
lugnet.admin.self-governance to spare .general from this kind of stuff, or is
this the right place?

Now I'm thinking that you waited too long. If you had set FUT .admin.general
on your second note, the third would probably never have been needed which
would have avoided you being a bit terse.
