CFJ, barring G.: "In the quoted message, G. objected to at least one
intent to perform a dependent action."

Caller's arguments: According to the judgement issued by Maud in CFJ
1460, an action is only effective if "unreasonably excessive effort"
is not required to determine what the action is. To determine exactly
what actions G. took here, one would need to carefully read each of
the messages sent to the public fora in the last 14 days, forming a
list of the intents to perform dependent actions in those messages
(including any and all inconspicuous or obfuscated such intents), and
evaluate which of those meet the criteria listed in G.'s message. I
believe this is "unreasonably excessive".

Interpreting the somewhat informal date/time spec as "on or about
3:35 PM Pacific Daylight Time (-0700) on October 27, 2018"
(presumably caller's intent, and if not then e can submit another):

The only public message from G. that meets this spec is the one
quoted by the caller (archive link in evidence). To the best of my
knowledge, it was genuinely an empty message (unregulated), and
neither that message nor any non-public message e may have sent
around the same time triggered any non-obvious recordkeeping duties or
the like. As usual, if evidence to the contrary later emerges (e.g. a
relevant encrypted contract is revealed), then this judgement should be
appealed accordingly.

FALSE.
