But Felix, this is not a "US language email list".
That's not how I interpret:
"User/Support opensuse English Generic questions and User to User support for the openSUSE distribution"
from http://lists.opensuse.org/ where there are many lists for the same purpose but in other languages.
This leads you nowhere. You've been told and you knew beforehand what kind of people use this list. English doesn't mean US English, neither by default nor by tradition of a product whose roots have been an obscure little formerly European company called SUSE or something like this. On side topics: If the list's description doesn't inform you or the general public that users may note care for US usage of the word, that may be a problem in general (or may not). It doesn't apply here though because you have been told it explicitly. What's left is rationalizing your over-reaction on a text attachment. You decide to drop attachments - not my problem. You clutter this list with complaints about users' practice of sending tech attachments - not good for the list. All this bla bla on how you have the best bloated email client ever broken by a designer doesn't help us out of this situation where you're making up excuses for your really minor and negligigle fault of being rude to a list user. I would just have read over it if you had not expanded upon it. On policy: I do like external attachments as links to archives. I also like minimizing bandwith, prefering text over html and other good practices. But this list allows different practices for a reason and it usually works out if we're all a little bit tolerant. On topic: Let's stop this and be productive again. In Europe, I don't experience the mirrorbrain thing as slower than direct mirror selection. I can check with a US east coast proxy environment this evening if you are interested in a benchmark. I also have an israeli one at my disposal. Let's just find out what's wrong and fix it and be happy. -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
