Duaine, Each mail list has a topic. When you subscribe to mail list with specific topic other users of that list grant you right to use their time for subjects that are within topic. Posting off topic content is violation of that. Reason to do that must be much more then yet another attempt of some marginal company to use bait-and-switch on their users. In a way it is the same as posting OT, subscribing to ask for help then switch to take other people time for purpose that one has no permission for. Also: For those interested in general news, selected by someone else, TV, radio and newspapers have professional editors and selection of fresh and interesting news. Occasional OT discourse by people that have sudden urge to play news outlet, is not nearly as entertaining as professionally created news selection. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
