As one of the more vocal users on the OT topics, it was decided to move/start a list for OT due to Mads wanting to settle down the # of OT posts. Mads didn't really care about it for much more than the amount of bandwitdh being sucked at a time of the new release and the high demands on the ftp server at SuSE. At this time some of the SuSE list users expressed their dislike of the posts. Frankly, Chris Klippel offered to serve the list and many us that participating in the OT topics on the SuSE list thought it a good idea to move OT to lx-talk to keep the peace. It doesn't really matter to me what list the post comes from - as long as I can get the posts I desire. I still sub to the SuSE list and use it for the technical info. One of the other Lx-Talk users stated that the new list was nice because we can post freely without wondering who might be offended/bothered. I have to agree with this. It is nice to post on a list where no one cares that It is not "on topic". Now, hopefully, this satisifies those how want the OT posts and those that want only SuSE list posts - and then those, like myself, that want both. Just MHO, Cheers.

Fred (and quite a few of us) moved to the other list because of the comments *of a few* on this list.
Just so Terence, and therein lies the problem. I am not blaming the movers (though I said at the time that I thought it would be a pity if they left), but it does seem a little harsh now to criticise those who take leave to regret the change and canvass for its reversal.
