I looked thorugh my mail archives.
There is my message of the 15th of March in response to the
problematic email from an ftpmaster (that I have already mentioned).
I put leader@ as one of three addresses in the To field. In the mail
I stated, unambiguously and directly, my interpretation of the
situation. Even though my message doesn't request specific action of
the DPL, any reasonable DPL who read it would see that DPL
intervention was both wanted and needed. [1]
Perhaps it would have been better to demand, in terms, that the DPL
perform their Constitutional function, but it seemed (and still seems)
quite clear that the DPL was choosing not to intervene, rather than
that they believed their help wasn't required.
Ian.
[1] I think quoting from that mail would be quite unhelpful at this
stage. We seem like we may be making progress and I don't want to
unnecessarily dredge up the drama again.

that is a private address which bypasses my fierce spamfilter.
