a) Not everyone interested in volunteering or making a useful to contribution for such event will subscribe to the OT list.
Then they should restrain themselves and refrain from posting OT.
b) Strictly speaking this is about assistance in helping setting up Linux, so is much less off topic than some, and is arguably on topic...
grep -i suse <article> results in no output
c) I do NOT think that this is a particularly diplomatically useful response .... I can only assume that you neglected to read the OP before responding...
You think that Randall posted after "noticing" the subject line rather than reading the post? What response would be "diplomatically useful" and, providing you have a better response, why didn't you "diplomatically" advise the poster the proper channel for his post? I cite a partial quote from a respected member of this list: <quote> Date: Mon, 21 May 2007 17:24:04 +0200 From: Pascal Bleser <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> To: opensuse-project@opensuse.org [...] The opensuse@opensuse.org list is already unusable for anything besides pointless off-topic discussions. So please, let us use *this* list for real work, actions, not blathering. </quote> -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
