[luau] List Policy

[Joe Linux]

I agree fully with you, but I guess at this point I see this as problem 
where a single individual is enforcing policy where no policy exists. 
 Now you can ask is the problem do to a lack of policy or an individual 
who makes up policy on the spot, with little thought as he goes along. 
 Since I was at the brunt of this in the past, I guess I can admit that 
a certain amount of bad blood is coming out now as I see the same thing 
happening to others that happened in the past to me.  An yes, I agree 
this is definitely not in the interest of actually building and open 
source community.  I would like to point out that I'm also a member of 
the "CLUE" group in Denver, and there are is virtually no equivalent 
problem.
