Hehe - we are not saints!  Disagreements can happen, and people under stress 
can start flame wars.  It doesn't make them bad people, but they may need help 
to look dispassionately at the point at issue.  There are more positive 
things, too.  Sometimes developers ask for help in other ways.  For instance I 
was asked by one developer if I could find two or three non-tech users to test 
a specific feature in his application.  I can't deny, though, that on the rare 
occasions when disagreements happen helping resolve them can be very tiring.

There isn't any way, and there is no archive.  That's because it is the place 
that you can write to as a first contact if you have a problem that you want 
to discuss.  It needs to be private, you see, so that people feel they can say 
things that they wouldn't want to be publicly visible.  The CWG members take 
privacy very seriously.

I hope this helps you understand a little more :-)  and thanks for asking the 
questions.
