Anders, Wasn't he just letting us know that someone was actually spam-selling SuSE? I think he just found it interesting and notable. No? I found it interesting...the idea that SuSE users would actually stoop to that level and buy from a spammer. Kind of a "preaching to the wrong crowd" philosophy. I thought of it as a kind of a funny "by the way....". -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 1.805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

Quite, and obviously why I posted it. Fred -- "Running Windows on a Pentium is like getting a Porsche but only being able to drive it in reverse with the handbrake on."

Right, but you posted the original spam in full, without even a note from you telling what it was about, not that I could find. Simply mentioning the fact, and posting the first few lines of the spam, would have been sufficient. As I had also received that spam in my mail yesterday, I had to look carefully to determine if it was you, or it was a spammer using your name to post to the list :-/ Notice that spamassassin almost triggered and deleted it; it did not because it has you classified as a normal poster here, I think. Instead of your normal -5, that mail got a -1, -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

I'm not perfect boys.......shouldn't have sent the full post. We all make mistakes. Fred -- "Running Windows on a Pentium is like getting a Porsche but only being able to drive it in reverse with the handbrake on."
Dead horse...beaten. No harm done.

A funny "by the way" does not include a full quote of a spam, including the hyperlinks and the nonsense text at the bottom designed to fool anti-spam programs. a) forwarding spam, for whatever reason, is a *huge* no-no b) he could have posted a mention, as a real "by the way", that did not include a full spam mail, and still gotten the message across c) he should have posted it to suse-ot, where these things belong, *as he well knows*

My vote is for folks to lighten up. I have found for years that Mr. Miller's posts were some of the most interesting things to show up here, a reason to keep an eye on the list. Who on earth is going to keep an eye on the off-topic list? Henry Harpending On Tue, Aug 17, 2004 at 01:51:42AM +0200, Anders Johansson wrote:

You've missed the most worrying bit about this, the last line: 'univalve Heisenberg proviso hybrid obtains playboy' - do you have any idea of the number of magazines and periodicals these b***ards are going to be able to buy up if they get hold of a *multivalve* Heisenberg proviso, and hybridise that?
