I'll quote the FAQ to you and then I'll shut up. |Q1. What is the suse-linux-e mailing list? |A1. SLE is a high volume, unmoderated mailing list for general | discussions about SuSE Linux in English. In other words, | it's a wild, largely unsupervised, collection of Linux | users that will flood your mailbox with 100-200 messages | per day. It's also a great place to get help with your | SuSE Linux system or have discussions about Linux. note "Unmoderated" |Q3. What is not appropriate content for the list? |A3. Commercial postings of any kind, job postings, non-computer/Linux | related material. Because of the large size of the list (1500 | subscribers and ~200 messages per day), flame wars and off-topic | posting can sometimes result in you being unsubscribed and, in | extreme cases, banned from the list. Also, please unsubscribe | now if you planning on posting advocacy-type things. There are | lots of advocacy newsgroups such as comp.os.linux.advocacy. note no "Advocacy-type" things. There is a fine line as to what is and isn't advocacy. it can be a matter of personal definition. As mentioned before, I'll now disengage from this topic and stick to SuSE specific stuff. I've set a filter to ditch all stuff marked (OT) into a bin for later perusal. In fact this reply by me should give it a test :) Good night :)

"About one-third of the agency's 5,000 workers -- those who do hands-on weather forecasting -- now use Linux. They're using Red Hat 7.3 Linux on Intel-based workstations from IBM in some 122 NWS Weather Offices across the nation, as well as in 12 River Forecast Centers, six regional weather service offices and the agency's training facilities. Linux is also being used in the specialized offices of the agency's National Center for Environmental Prediction, including the National Hurricane Center and the Storm Prediction Center."

Fred... this is NOT an advocacy group. It is a support mailing list. If you want to do some advocacy, take it into the correct usenet newsgroup, comp.os.linux.advocacy
I'll be waiting.
