This list is extremely high traffic at the moment, and the idea that recording every word of every discussion is the be all and end all of an open project is nonsense. Just as the entire list doesn't need to hear every word you say to your rubber duck, it doesn't need to see every quickfire thought of a collaboration or personal debate.

What happened for phpng. And my reply to this exact post makes clear what I refer to. It is not a quick chat like we see everywhere, irc, conferences or UGs. This is about an on going discussion going off list for no valid reason. The same applies to private mails about open topics, rfc or patch to try to get one to change her mind. This is not acceptable and will never be, to my eyes at least. Sorry for the noise, but it has to be said.
