I have no recollection of adding myself as a member, I can't imagine doing so by accident.
What follows may be hard to visualise but here goes…
If I think back over the past few months, focusing on the forums that I created then rearranged in relation to Chandler Project, Open Source Applications Foundation (OSAF) and IETF:
a) AFAIR I began with
Chandler Project: selected lists f1653096
• with two children
Chandler users and
chandler-dev• probably without an
OSAF parent
— Chandler Project is logically within OSAF but when I originally created the Chandler Project area in Nabble, I probably didn't foresee a need for anything under the OSAF umbrella
b) some months later, I created forums for one or two of four IETF lists that were originally hosted by OSAF
c) for a while, OSAF-hosted IETF stuff was near to OSAF-hosted Chandler Project stuff
c) at some point I created an
IETF forum f3136371
d) at some point I created an
OSAF forum f3138168 parent to Chandler Project
e) ultimately four IETF lists were transitioned from OSAF to IETF hosting and so in Nabble I rearranged the parentage/grand-parentage to reflect that transition.
I do recall, at some point I got the parentage/grand-parentage wrong and had to move things around to correct my mistake. Possibly at point (e)
when separation was required I lazily compared the number of IETF forums (4) with the number of Chandler Project forums (2) and imagined that the quickest separation would be removal of
Chandler users and
chandler-dev from their original parent. Then realised that the arrangement would have left the Nabble users who were previously able to post
Chandler users and
chandler-dev no longer able to post in either place (but able to post in an IETF area, which was not required).
Whatever happened: after correcting my mistake I ended up with the required short list of people at <
http://n2.nabble.com/forum/People.jtp?forum=3138168>. Whether my name appeared twice back then, I don't know. Somehow I doubt it.
Certainly I never 'added myself' or anything like that.
I did simply (but repeatedly) arrange parentage and grand-parentage. Might my clumsiness and back-tracking have led to my name appearing twice?
