Again, I don't speak for the NetBSD project.

I'm referring to comments made very shortly after you initially
announced your coremail archive.  Nobody I know seems to have saved a
copy.  Since there's no way to verify your story about your mail
archive being modified, it's hard to tell.  I'll skim what you
currently have posted and see if there's anything obviously different.

There's some understandable confusion going on here.  Jason changed
his mind, and didn't approve any of those posts; they didn't go to the
list.  (He decided they didn't fit the charter of the group.)  The
word "prick" hasn't appeared on port-i386 this month.

I was confused also; Charles thought Goerzen's message went to the
list without hitting the moderation filter, but in reality Goerzen's
message never hit port-i386 at all.

The following is according to Jason, who would know:

	Messages that did make it to port-i386:

		Theo's "I fixed 20 security bugs in OpenBSD"

	Messages that were bounced and never went to port-i386:

		Jason Thorpe's "care to share your findings?"
		Theo's refusal
		Goerzen's flame of Theo
		Theo's reply to Goerzen
