How come YOU are the ONLY one that answers me in this way ?????????? Because the rest of us (or at least some of us) ignore your off-topic posts, Duaine. But Patrick is right, if you start with "I know this is off-topic", you are not in the right place. You have continued to do this in spite of being asked not to by a number of people over the years.
You once stated that the reason you do this is because you want more visibility. Doing so has given you /less/ visibility, because many make the (apparently) correct assumption that you don't care about being on- topic as long as it raises your visibility, so you get ignored.
I think that you et al should look closely at the HEADERs of messages and see what is contained in them Duaine's original post was cross posted to 3 lists/newsgroups and one of them was OFFTOPIC. My question is: why was his post allowed to be crossposted to at least 2 openSUSE mail lists when one of my responses to an openSUSE list and to which I then added the sender's private address was rejected by the robot which controls the openSUSE mail lists because the robot does not allow cross posting? If you look above Jim in the Subject line, you will see that your response has gone to the wrong list - or my mailer is putting it in the wrong list. Either way, the robot which runs these openSUSE mailing lists has lost its marbles and is out of control.
