Then they should restrain themselves and refrain from posting OT.

grep -i suse <article>

You think that Randall posted after "noticing" the subject line rather
than reading the post?
What response would be "diplomatically useful" and, providing you have
a better response, why didn't you "diplomatically" advise the poster
the proper channel for his post?

I cite a partial quote from a respected member of this list:

The opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx list is already unusable for anything besides
pointless off-topic discussions.
So please, let us use *this* list for real work, actions, not
blathering.
