Pardon?

May I cite the charter:

  "The first task probably is to determine what the next generation of
  mail should do, and how that is different than what
  SMTP/2822/POP-or-IMAP or instant messaging does." 


So could you just explain a little bit what you like to focus 
on if not on such matters? I seem to have difficulties in
understanding what this list is supposed to be about if not about
this. Pointing out what exactly you'd expect would surely
be better than just cutting this "forcefully".

Be a good mom and tell the kids what you expect instead of just 
beating them.
