arb elections + arb list 'leaks'

well the elections came and went - it was fun to be involved on the periphery, but other stuff has largely distracted me since....

now the news of the day is that kelly martin, an ex-arb, and now wiki apostate, is in the process of setting up a project publishing emails from the arb list from a period a few years ago - citing public interest / general public good as the rationale for breaching the expectation of privacy..... it's an interesting one for sure.. maybe interesting enough to warrant further comment, who knows......
