Hi Doug,

We have a new Wiki and the website (powered by DokuWiki) thanks to Simon 
Heath so above behavior will be added to Auton Lab Etiquette don't do it 
section. Right now we will treat this as a case of an uninformed user 
and hope that the person will read this e-mail and do the right thing. I 
am CC to users at autonlab.org.


Best,
Predrag
