Well, well. Let's see if I can pour some water on the fire.

Please bear in mind that not everyone is a native speaker of English, and
that different  countries have  different cultures  and social  norms. In
some  countries it  is normal  to expect  everyone else  to abide  by the
national canons of  accepted social behaviour, in others it  is normal to
express one's displeasure in no unclear terms. The previous sentence is a
snide remark  by Anglo-Saxon standards,  it is everyday practice  where I
come from,  some sort  of sport  if you want.  Some measure  of tolerance
clearly helps in international contexts.

Here is  what *I*  understood: "Let  me tell  you that  you unnecessarily
worked more than you  would have needed. You must not  have had much work
to do on that  day, otherwise you would have thought  of getting in touch
with the  postmaster", etc. See,  it doesn't  take more than  a misplaced
comma to change the meaning of a whole sentence.

Cristina  regrets  having  put  so  much work  into  improving  a  rotten
situation she is  not responsible for, and then getting  all that flak on
public lists.  Darren may not have  known that she isn't  responsible for
the EB0UB011  problems, but Cristina  may have understood  it differently
and thought he was blaming her personally for that, hence the reply.
 
Now can we please get back to our everyday question about the location of
the LISTSERV documentation that is listed  in appendix A but doesn't seem
to be anywhere? :-)
