I think these rants could actually be effective if the email addr of the ibm
person responsible for the rant subject was
    - posted by the ranter or a rant responder
    - cc'd in all rant posts

the ibm person would be asked to respond to the list.  if they respond
directly, the person receiving the response would post the response to the
list.
