Feel free to join the discussion in the luv-main list about this.

The work just wasn't good work.  They had the origin address as "no-reply" at 
their domain and don't have working postmaster or abuse addresses.  They 
deliberately made it difficult to contact them.

The LUV lists work and are proven to work by the active discussion on them 
now.  They could have used the luv-announce list.

My comment to this list was very polite, see the luv-main list for examples of 
how other people react.

I had a meeting with Alexar and he tried to convince me that electron workshop 
did nothing wrong.  If you think you can convince him of best practices then 
please have a go.
