Sorry, you will need to be more specific as I actually look at a
lot of the announcements when they are tweeted which is how I
became aware of this. The only one I have an issue with is this as
you used the [ANN] prefix.
Since the most recent [ANN] message on lua-l is my lua-repl release,
I'm guessing the original message is directed at me, at least
partly. I admit that in my excitement to announce the latest
release of lua-repl (which is a library for embedding a Lua REPL
within another program), I did indeed forget to clarify what
lua-repl actually *is*. Please forgive this oversight.
However, I would appreciate a more direct approach next time; a kind
e-mail to the original poster (whether as a reply to them only, or
to the list) asking them to clarify would be much preferred.
Thanks,
Rob
