I'm not suggesting anything of the kind. Nor am I disputing that sending
directly instead of the list is a wrong thing to do. I'm just wondering
why Chris, and not the rest of us. I've never gotten anything directly
from him, and I don't recall hearing that anyone else has, either. So why
single out Chris, especially since he's one of the maintainers of a list
with a clearly stated, and vigorously enforced anti-spam policy? Perhaps
it was just some kind of mix-up.
