Yeah. But it's more important for the network to keep its internal 
"security cohesion" rather than to have any sender understood, at any cost.

Anyway, in this case, I think the message got across better due to its 
direct and straightforward path.

Like Nick, you don't have access to reviewers@ and you're missing a lot 
of background, including Gerv's speech due to which (and other factors 
to be fair) he and me ended up in this "defensive" state (to which 
people only contribute more by trying to straight up things without 
having access to the original background).

I don't agree. Ironically, I think the emotion and negativity is what 
made people question the communication process in the first place. :-)

That would be kind of cool because we could encourage an environment 
where you don't have to be bud buddies in order to work together. Sadly, 
the current is true in Bugzilla development and some straighten up would 
be cool to do.
