Dear Razor-Users Mailing List Members,
I would like to apologize for the posting yesterday regarding EFF's response to Adam Goryachev, a member of this list. Those comments were made as part of an internal discussion on what EFF's official stance on spam and being censored by Razor should be. They were completely inappropriate for dissemination outside of an internal EFF list, and we're very sorry for the insensitive way our reaction was portrayed.
Marc Perkel is EFF's systems administrator, and he cares very much about how technical solutions to filtering are developed. However, he does not represent EFF in any of these discussions, and he was wrong to forward internal EFF discussions to your list. He wants to help you build a system that filters out the real spam and leaves the rest alone. I think we're all in agreement that those are the ideals to strive for when building a spam filtering system.
Nothing is gained in any of these discussions by insults or close-mindedness by anyone affected. We know that you are trying to fine-tune the Razor system to ensure that requested email is not filtered. Please understand that, as a free speech organization, EFF staff and board members are particularly sensitive to solutions that shut down desired messages. We're frustrated that EFFector has been filtered, and we're even more frustrated when it is implied that it is our own fault. But we are much more interested in getting this problem solved than in hurling insults.
Again, please accept our humblest apologies for the comments forwarded to this list. Shari Shari Steele EFF Executive Director
