Gratuitous Evidence by Goethe:

I often don't have ag-dis delivery turned on, so such
messages are frequently not "sent" to me (I do, obviously, read them from
the archives).  -Goethe

========================================================================

Judge OscarMeyr's Arguments:

The message in question was not sent to a public forum, and was not clearly
sent to all players.  As precedent, when I was Registrar and had to send out
a 1-month deregistration notice, I clearly stated that I was BCC'ing the
message to the player's listed email address. I consider such a statement to be a clear statement that a message is being sent to the player in question.
To qualify as a public message, a message would have to be copied or
blind-copied (with a notice similar to mine) to all registered players;
relying on players subscribing to or reading the archives of a public forum
is not sufficient. As no such notice or copying was contained in the message in question, nor did the message's full headers include any cc: lines, I rule
FALSE.

========================================================================

Judge OscarMeyr's Evidence:

(1) R478/22, relevant paragraph:
      A message is public if and only if it is sent via a public forum
      or is sent to all players and contains a clear designation of
      intent to be public.  A player "publishes" or "announces"
      something by sending a public message.

(2) H. Registrar root's report of 20 January 2008, relevant part:
Mailing lists:  (PF = Public Forum, DF = Discussion Forum)

   PF <agora-official@agoranomic.org>       (official reports)
   PF <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>       (other business)
   DF <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>     (discussion)

   PF <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>        (backup)
   PF <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>             (backup)

(3) Goethe's gratuitous evidence, as quoted above.
