: Ian, you've apparently missed some of the discussion. Notice (of the

Sorry, I was unclear. That's what I meant by "the announcement".

If SSA want to use ras as a private messageboard for some things, they
can't be terribly surprised if it's used for others as well.

On the whole I think it's probably much better that the whole thing
was posted here, as it will have saved much speculation and rumour
mongering.
