Another problem is all of this stuff is getting into the archives and it soils those for later searches. Not sure if anybody is interested in 2004 what flamewar this group was in over 7.2 But hey I may be wrong and one fine day we start seeing flamewars put on TV in like a real life TV show. ha

Instead of having 75% of the mails on the suse-linux-e ! mailinglist
tagged, I would prefer either one of these:

1) Having this mailinglist beeing about (SuSE) Linux in general with a
*small* amount of OT postings.

2) Having this mailinglist beeing about (SuSE) Linux in general with all
OT postings on another mailinglist.

I would rather use the bandwith on serving people who wants to use our
ftp-server.
