I reckon the most probable explanation is that Jackson saw the email, and decided to delete it and pretend he hadn't received it, hoping he could claim it hadn't arrived at chiark because it had never been sent properly - but he was too stupid to spot that you'd CCed it elsewhere. Otherwise why would he be so coy about why the spam filter had supposedly intercepted it?

Whether he deleted it on sight because it was from you, or because it contained "difficult" questions that he didn't want the "moderators" to have to answer, is unclear; knowing him it could quite easily be either. (Of course the perpetrator may have been someone else with access to chiark, e.g. Bilbo, rather than Jackson, although in that case Jackson is pretty certain to be in on it by now.)

those who laughably claim to be suitable as "moderators". Is there anyone left who genuinely believes that they are capable of moderating a newsgroup in a truly impartial way? I think pretty much everyone who still supports the URCM proposal knows that the "moderation" is actually just going to be biased censorship - and that's why they support it. How dare they knowingly support such a deception? Have they no principles?
