Excuse me BUT, it DOES say "OT" in the heading, and the result could affect all Linux users, and SuSE users use Linux (at least they did last time I logged into my workstation), and most like to keep across things that may seriously affect them. If you don't want to read them, set a filter. If you don't want to download the messages, talk to your isp about setting a filter on your mailbox at their end.

<quote> 15. Mails with private remarks, greetings and especially flames, as well as any other personal discussions, that are intended for a specific person should be sent directly to that person and not to the list. Those mails are off-topic (OT) in the list. Replies to OT-mails should also not be sent to the list. </quote>
Now I see no one read it... at least not that part...
Now, as by sending this reply I'm breaking that rule too, I'll stop sending replies immediately.
But please, keep it in mind...
/cut again/ I wonder about these threads occasionally myself. But, as scsijon has noted, there are a lot of valuable bits of information in these threads and a lot of insight into the people who write them. It is nice to see how some of the "old minds" (I hope no one takes offense) on this list view some of the topics of discussion. I find a lot of their opinions useful and the links and additional information invaluable. If I find one that rambles in a direction I don't like or get bored with I just drop the thread. I do feel sorry for the "billed" people in other countries and those with slower connections sometimes. Thanks for the ear, will
