the list's name is "arm-netbooks", best to refer to everyone on it by that, rather than confuse the use of my personal initials of my personal name?

A lead participating in community as a regular member, is important.
indeed. and using the personal initials of the lead developer (me) to refer to the members, over whom i have absolutely no authority or control exvept as the dual role / capacity of list moderator, particularly when there already exists a unique and separate and distinct naming convention ("members of arm-netbooks") is massively confusing and thus is inappropriate.
reminder ron: i set the rules here, you do not. that is my role as lead, and you are free to ignore those rules if you are also happy to accept the consequence that i am free to put you into moderation mode (again).
This is difficult task not many will understand the value of, much
less appreciate.
If we don't address Luke directly, we depreciate a great deal of energy. Exaggerating what many could answer, deprives meaning from those few or the only one who can answer rigorously accurate.
confusion by not following normal conventions, by inventing new ones that nobody was consulted about, places a burden on absolutely everybody to work out what the hell is going on.
Transparency requires tinted windows. Openness requires passionate effort.
funny. nice analogy and also true.
