Fast forward 11 months.
The list is hit with 2 more confirmation emails. Obviously neither "suggestion" was taken....becasue the list address was used and there was no prior email from K saying "expect this".
Karsten did post a small note before the confirmations from Forbes and CNet:
Subject: [Iwe] Forbes registration just requested
Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2003 15:46:55 -0800
Confirmation should post to list shortly.

After what happened earlier, I was immediately surprised that he didn't run it past the list before signing up, but he did give some notice.
It's a terrible shame that it transpired the way it did. :-( I hope everyone can put it behind themselves so that we can get back to being one big, grumpy, family. :-)
Cheers,
Scott.
