Hello, Chris. About 3-4 months back, the old flame war kicked off again surrounding Fred Miller's news posts. The volume of pro and anti-Fred messages was exponentially larger than Fred's messages ever were. As such, someone offered to host a Linux advocacy list spawned from the members of the SuSE list. I do not believe it to be restricted to those users, but that is certainly where it began. Since the new group was free to discuss general computing issues in addition to SuSE specific issues, Fred began posting his news messages there. The intent was that those seeking SuSE help would continue to use the SuSE list, and those wishing to discuss broader issues would do so on the lx-talk list. Having been away from these lists for a couple of months myself, it will probably take me a few days to get back into the swing of things. Most of the noisier (meant in a nice way) people from the SuSE list subscribed to the lx-talk list when it began, so you should see some familiar names there if it is still as active as it used to be. If you go to www.mamalala.de, you can find the info and the archive, although I found the archive to be down when I checked it earlier. Bye for now, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: suse-linux-e-return-72151-stuart=yorkshirepudding.com@suse.com [mailto:suse-linux-e-return-72151-stuart=yorkshirepudding.com@suse.com]O n Behalf Of Chris Reeves Sent: 13 September 2001 14:30 To: SuSE List Subject: Re: [SLE] Greetings and a question On Thu, Sep 13, 2001 at 12:56:17PM +0100, Stuart Powell wrote:
Well, I'm back after a few weeks away having been busy moving from the US

Ireland. I was just trying to resubscribe myself to the splinter group mailing list spawned a couple of months ago after all the anti-Fred mailings
What's this? What's this splinter group mailing list all about? I haven't been able to read list emails for the last four months (back a couple of weeks ago) so I don't know anything about this...
(I know many of you are also subscribed to it), but it seems to be down. Is that list still live ? If so, does anyone have the subscription email address ?
