Any changes to our list settings should be announced to this list and
who's granted list admin access actually matters since it usually
requires a very special type of people to be handled properly from my
pov thus the community should have a saying in who those individuals are.
At present, myself, Tim and Kamil have admin access. We haven't changed
anything major for years AFAIR. Kamil wasn't planning to *change*
anything, he thought something had broken and needed fixing, but it
turned out to be a false alarm.
We fiddle with the filtering for annoying stuff like linkedin spam now
and again, but basically, it's a straightforward setup - you subscribe
and then you can post whatever you like. There is no active moderation
of content.

according to this principle, instead of being aggressive. Otherwise
your question might go unanswered next time. Thank you.
You call that aggressive?
It did come off as a little bit aggressive, yeah. I believe this happens
quite a bit - you have a style that can read as aggressive without you
necessarily knowing it. You use the general construction 'who gave you
the power/right to XXX...' quite a bit - I think you might not know that
this comes off as kind of a rude way of phrasing the question, in
colloquial English. If you asked someone the question that way in casual
conversation, they'd feel like they were being attacked and get
defensive. I don't think you meant it that way, but it can be read that
way.
I gave Kamil and Tim their admin access, James gave me admin access.
