To Clear up confusion expressed by at least one person, my Mail wasn't just about
myself being confused about the wording of the announcement email. It
was about my frustration at the Council's decision because their
supposed procedure for appeals didn't happen in this case. In
Philantrop's case at least, his behaviour since the retirement has been
almost perfect(a devrel member even asserted this), yet his appeal was
rejected.
