[TriLUG] Is the Steering committee moderating folks without first discusing it with them?

Hey Jon,

I do know of one person that had some trouble, and I think that was a 
case of me mashing the wrong button when doing some admin work on 
Mailman.  This button has been unmashed :)

I am reminded of a quote my friend shared with me many years ago:

"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by 
stupidity."

If there is ever a problem with the mailing list or any other TriLUG 
service, I urge the inconvenienced party to contact the steering 
committee to resolve the matter through civil discourse.

Sincerely,

Kevin Otte
Vice-Chair, TriLUG
