Hackers has become such a fire hose that I don't take it for granted
that all messages are read by everyone.  This may be news to some
authors, especially those that have not responded on a thread since

point I think that includes poking authors who are not being responsive
using the limited means at my disposal.

I didn't take the extension to mean that I should stop CF management.
However, If you think I have exceeded my mandate over the course of the
CF, then I'm happy to discuss that.
