Why have we not upgraded Lynx?

[Gianni Truzzi]

Andrew:

Thank you for notifying the board that the problem exists. However, it is not
necessary for us to follow the entire conversation.

This is a matter for the Operations group within SCNA. That is the appropriate
venue. The Board is not the body that administers the SCN system and the
Operations group, as part of SCNA, is equally governed by the ByLaws. It is simply
an issue of appropriate channels. I ask only that you follow them, and abide by my
request.

I will also point out the SCN code of conduct you agreed to requires all users to
use the lists appropriately and in a manner consistent with their intended
purpose. The board welcomes your comments. That's why the list is open for
receiving. But an ongoing discussion about system administration should take place
in the correct venue. The hardware list exists for that purpose, as does the SCN
list.

-- Gianni

P.S. As a personal aside, I find the tone of your posts, as represented by the
subject line of this thread, to be unnecessarily belligerent. Your points are
valid, but are undermined by your hostile posture. Can you think of nicer, more
constructive ways of saying the same things?
