RE: [SLE] strange output from ls -l ???
Randall, After reviewing past and current posts to this list, a significant portion are about general Linux questions. Should we turn these posters away? I think we shouldn't, but you, possibly, hold a different opinion. The original post was about "ls". That was it. With all the general Linux non-Suse specific questions that are posted here, I thought he deserved a useable answer. Hopefully, he got it. Hopefully, again, he may go out and buy a Suse box set because he had such great experience on this list. Who knows.
May I ask why your mailer doesn't preserve thread links?
Yes, you may ask. Unfortunately, I don't know why. Should I provide you with more info without fear of getting flamed? I'll give it a shot. We use Exchange. Why Microsoft doesn't comply with mail standards, I don't know. I hate it. Don't ask me to change company policy either. It isn't going to happen. If you want, let's take the rest of this dialogue off list so we can spare the list of any more of this 'tit for tat' banter. ~James

The original question was about what some software did on Windows. That cannot be deemed germane here even some of us knew the answer. And I gave the O-P a useable answer. A correct answer, even. I also took advantage of his invitation for further commentary. I acknowledge that we tolerate a lot of marginal stuff, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be labelled as such. And I do think we should try to keep the topics here germane to SuSE Linux, not Windows look-alikes. Allowing a list's topic area to become over-broad will kill it. There's a plethora of places on the Internet to learn about Linux in general while there are very few places to learn about SuSE-specific topcis.

I didn't write that.

I follow the god who says "Thou shalt not suffer fools gladly." And I'm fully willing to be treated to the same kind of intolerance when it's called for. (I don't suffer hypocrisy gladly, either.) Randall Schulz
