I would agree with another poster on this topic: we should have another list to discuss how to use this list.
That's really pointless. Suselinuxusers on yahoogroups already has 1306 subscribers, and IIRC it does as does most of the world's dicussion lists, as is the yahoogroups norm, by setting replies back to the list by default. If everyone subscribing here who disagrees with this list's policy would unsubscribe here and subscribe there, eventually we'd probably be able to see which policy works best simply from the subscriber counts.
A slightly more extreme alternative would be to install factory, subscribe to the opensuse-factory list, and couch all your questions in factory terms to ensure they're on topic there, where replies are set to go automatically back to the list by default. --
Along those lines of thinking, Felix, I wonder just how many subscribers there are to this list? Compared to all those Yahoo Groups subscribers? I don't agree with the set reply policy but I put up with it. It's not really a 'big' deal even though I did what many other have done and will do by asking about it on list. I don't even bother getting involved in the arguments anymore - this mail being an exception to the rule of course :-) -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
