Hello David, On Saturday, October 4, 2003, 10:08:49 PM, you hammered out: D> I wish this list would grow up. It's a high-volume list. What's the D> harm in having a few more messages if someone wants to talk about Red D> Hat or Microsoft? But, no. Within a few posts, everyone is told to take D> it to the OT list. Unfortunately, the discussions of these sorts of D> topics on that list were of little value because no one espoused a D> different point of view. ... <snip rant> ... Please read the following frequently asked, frequently asked questions before posting to the list. ... ----Some Frequently Asked, Frequently Asked Questions Q2. What is appropriate content for the list? A2. Questions about configuration, maintenance, and implementation of SuSE Linux. The emphasis is on the x86 platform since we have separate lists for AXP, Sparc, IA64, and PPC. 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. -- Best regards, Gary With proper diet, rest, and exercise a healthy body will last a lifetime.
