I have mixed feelings about this.  When a sincere apology is offered, it
would be reasonable for those concerned to accept the apology and forget the
incident.  On the other hand, it is unsettling to have someone conduct this
type of investigation and publish the results.  I don't understand the
reasoning behind this action.  It has the appearance of trying to intimidate
a person who has a differing viewpoint.  This type of treatment directed at
one individual could contribute to a lack of participation on the list by
many others who would like to get involved.  As list members, we need to
encourage participation and foster an atmosphere of mutual respect.
