traffic on the list

All, It would be nice if we could stick to subject matter for this list. At the best of time it is a high traffic list. This sort of thing makes it impossible. This list is, IMHO one of the very best sites available for Linux technical support, and it has some of the very best people on it helping out. There are plenty of lists out there for discussing other matters. Please use them, and remember that it's not necessary to have the last word, you can just leave the matter. Too much extranious matter on the list will destroy its usefulness to the Linux community and will cause potential new Linux users who are unable to get assistance to be lost. alan
