First, it was a post to -futures; whether or not it was off-topic for
the main list is completely beside the point.  Even if it was on the
main list though (and frankly, I think it SHOULD HAVE been posted to
the main list), this is a CFP for *our own conference*.  How on earth
could it be "not relevant to the main list"?

Please do us all a favor and stop undermining the credibility of your
colleagues on the MLC with this tripe.  Looking for opportunities to
twist the words of the AUP does not serve anyone's interests.
