As Carlos never caused me any harm and helped me on several occasions I would also second his reinstatement at the first possible occasion. This would allow him to continue his useful contribution. And if such a measure (ban) wants to be useful, it can only be it through its very time limitless. Isn't it? Otherwise we would send all people sooner or later for "renewal" as in 1976's "Logan's run". Immediate reinstatement would be my vote. Nothing less.
Further, to remove _the most disruptive member of this list_, I suggest Mr Brown serve the rest of Carlos's sentence and be banned from the lists (all of them) till mid February.
What the hell is the Board doing policing a "Community List" anyway, other than putting the lie to the claim that Opensuse is a "community distro"? We all know how to run a plonk file, we don't need any self appointed nanny to do it for us.
Just a heads-up re this matter.
Richard posted his response in this forum with copy going to the Board. When I posted my response I sent it to *ALL* which meant that a copy went to the Board.
If people want Carlos re-instated then may I suggest that a copy of the comments posted here be sent to the Board so that they are aware of the situation.
This is not an issue of wanting Carlos back or not as much as evluation of the creditibility and effectiviness of the management of this list. To ban your most important and beloved asset of a mailing list because of hurt feelings is STUPID. You just don't do things like this and the Board needs to make a public agology to the user base. Why would Carlos come back? He can switch to Arch and new lose a beat. Ruben
