You know this for a fact, do you?
Yes
As far as I am concerned, if I see in the sender's address a reference to Novell or openSUSE then the response comes officially from an employee of Novell/openSUSE.
Well, yes it does, but that does not make it an official statement of either Novell or SUSE
If the response is NOT from someone connected with Novell/openSUSE then there *must* be a disclaimer to indicate same.
Don't be silly. If you try to enforce this, the only result would be that the only @suse.com or @novell.com addresses you see are announcements. The others would either drop off or subscribe with private addresses Virtually no one on these lists is allowed to make official statements on behalf of the companies
If the response *is* from someone in Novell/openSUSE but reflects only their *personal* view/opinion then the poster must specifically mention this (as I have seen at least one person from Novell/openSUSE stipulate in his/her posting).
I agree with Carlos. Disclaimers are evil Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
