For once I tend to agree, this link is so OT as to be on a different planet, (I am not too certain how an Arkansas child support court case is relevant to anything penguin shaped) but I am not prepared to set my self up as some sort of list vigilante on this issue. There does come a point when this kind of vigilante evangelism is potentially more irritating than the original post...

Maybe we need new list, opensuse-soapbox.org anyone... :-)

Maybe we just need for people to respect the intended function of the list. In the early days transgressors were dealt with swiftly, harshly and in great volume; remember the therm aoler. Today, it seems to be "someone else's job". Until people recognize the lack of order (proper use of the list), the "useless mess of [OT] posting" will continue. The "community meeting place" was designated opensuse-project. Offtopic is opensuse-offtopic. Opensuse@opensuse.org is for the discussion of technical issues dealing with the installation and maintenance of openSUSE.

Damn, I knew I was spending too much time inviting friends over to play with my pingus, thank goodness they were girls . . .;-) You admit that your post is "Offtopic". It doesn't belong here. There is an offtopic list, opensuse-offtopic@opensuse.org. Please utilize it.

Actually, GT Smith, it is more on topic than you think, in that first off, I need to check the contents of my klipper before I do a cut-copy-paste job. THIS was the article that I was referring to: http://cbs4.com/entertainment/local_story_137115622.html The Arkansas child support story was something completely unrelated Anyway, I pulled up that story, then started looking through my games, just thought it was an odd one (and a slow news day at that matter) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There is a hellova lot more complaints about how people post than offending posts...... Get over it. B-) On Sunday 20 May 2007 5:49 pm, Patrick Shanahan wrote:

NO, it is still OT and you even advertise the fact in the Subject: line. It belongs in opensuse-offtopic@opensuse.org.

Why do you insist on bringing offtopic into the opensuse users list?

Yes, yours. You set a fine example, top-posting, full quoting including sigs *and* bitching about bitching.

...

Get over it.

Yes :^)
