Hi :) Sadly the Board can't do much. At best they can stop everyone else on the mailing list from seeing whatever Urmas posts but they can't stop him/her from simply using "Reply to" or "reply to all" to post off-list messages to anyone posting to the list. It would take much for them to do something even more damaging without the mailing list as a whole being aware of it. On another mailing list Urmas has been accused of bullying people off-list.
The way the mailing lists used to be set-up was that using "Reply to" would only go to the mailing list as a whole. So back then to send to an individual meant you would first have to find and then copy&pasting an email address into the "To" or CC" fields. That is all tooo complicated for the average computer user so it gave a bit of security and meant things like this could be dealt with fairly neatly. Nowadays there is nothing we can do to make it difficult to send private messages off-list. All we can do is to pretend we don't know that people get bullied off-list when they register on our mailing lists :( Given all that i would rather know what is being said so that we can usually support people if they do get attacked as a result of signing up for these mailing-lists.
