This FR QA list is not a discuss list but a working list and each member
invested on QA feels responsible of the work done here. Again, some
teams may work in different ways.

You didn't read what I was talking about (culture and communication), I
was not talking about responsiveness and responsibility. I don't think
that overwhelming another member is the good way to go. But as
