I have the feeling that you're unhappy with my e-mail.  

The intent of showing these headers was "that's the date, the message-ID 
and the subject of the mail, so maybe it's easier to track what had 
happened with this information".

Not working for the RIPE NCC I can't say for sure how this mailing list
is maintained - and from a LIR perspective, all I can say is that I've
been on that list since we became a LIR, some 10 years ago.  At that time
I didn't know anything about RIPE, so I assume that the listed contacts
get/got added automatically.

(Oh, btw, maybe I should point out that you are also "part of RIPE", and
thus the statement "... that RIPE is wrong and confused" could encompass 
your mail as well.  And RIPE-as-the-whole-community is certainly too lazy 
to read e-mails.  So what is your point?)
