[04-30-12 09:16]: I want to do a slideshow with a voiceover and some titles. What I'm thinking is show a German stamp and I explain what it is, ie who is on it etc. Then upload it to youtube so that my customers know what the new stamps are. Can someone suggest a good program to do this with?
Thanks!

Your sig is debasing and you are advertising for your own commercial gain. Perhaps I should change my sig to "James Hatridge& delcampe.net/stors GO AWAY". Nazi
I think that you have overreacted re this matter, and I am particularly interested in why you haven't complained about Duaine, for example, using a sig which blatantly promotes his own business.
However, this is not really the crux of the problem.
I think the problem is that sig *are* allowed in posts to the openSUSE lists - and this is particularly unwholesome because there are no rules governing what they may contain.
Any control as to what they may contain is thrown open to "peer pressure" whereby some wanker(s) may complain about something written, and Henne then comes in and bans a person.
As you will recall, Fred was banned from the lists because some wanker(s) complained about his sig. And yet there is at least one person on these openSUSE lists who quotes extracts from the bible.
What I suggest is that *ALL* sigs be *banned* from usage on the openSUSE mail lists. This way nobody will get offended, there will not be any need for posts like your current one - and people can then only whinge and complain about the CONTENTS of the posts and not about sigs.

Easier as you IIRR, and some few others have said before - hit the delete key if you don't want to read that person's post. Or make a filter to not see them ever again. As James says, banning all sigs just makes it harder to remember which group(s) one is subscribed to as 'which one can I have a sig' in. Banning a 'little thing here, a little thing there', will eventually make a list that is unusable. PS James is also right about people will just leave if more 'banning' goes one. 4+ years ago this list was easily 4 times the size it is now. Ganging up on, plain meanness, and elitism were some of the reasons people mentioned for leaving. There's almost a 'select' group who's still here.
