And your proof that Foxy actually /meant/ to use that config to hatch
the routelist is...?

How about if Foxy was planning to make a new, different file that she
intended to distribute to only part of the membership? If she's the author,
she has the right to restrict distribution, doesn't she?

The possibility very much exists that what you say is true, that she did in
fact do a malicious and inexcusible thing; I never denied that fact and I 
still don't. If it can be proven to me that this is the case, I say she
ought to resign, as that would be the only honorable thing to do. I also
feel regardless of whether it was a mistake or was intentional, she ought to
apologize to eveyone who's node number appeared in the seen-by when it
shouldn't have been there.

 The existance of the possibility that what she did was malicious, does not
however, exclude /other/ possibilities from existing. The facts are
inconclusive, and thus I draw no conclusions at this time based on the facts
that have come out so far.
