The cause of this "horror" both from the point of
view of contents and means was an impossibly large and
indiscriminating mailing list of the original invitation. It is
incomprehensible to me why the message should have been sent to so
many and extensive mailing lists, in view of the restricted academic
interest of the conference.
The people who have reacted to the message have compounded the
problem by including the messages and their mailing lists in their
replies. And by replying to all original recipients, not only to
the sender of the message.
So I ask everybody who receives this message, NOT TO USE the replyall
command and to send their comments only to those senders directly
concerned. I do not wish to leave the mailing lists I have
subscribed to just because of a badly considered NATO-conference.
