[opensuse] Is this list obsolete?
Hi: With the new NNTP based support forums, is this list obsolete? Ie, are all the messages here correlated with one or another of the forums? If so, which ones? It can be disadvantageous when there are so many sub-categories of NNTP forums, because each one carries only a subset of the community, and thus the probability of having one's post read by an interested party is less than with a less subdivided arrangement. For this reason, perhaps this list is still advantageous? Hmm, browsing the Novell site, I don't even see this list mentioned anymore. It appears to all have been transfered to NNTP/HTTP. Is there a link for subscribing to email lists anymore? Thanks for comments. Good day! -- _____________________ Christopher R.

Which NNTP based support forums? The novell ones? They are not the authorative user forum. The mailinglists are. The Novell NNTP forums are just another option to communicate.
Ie, are all the messages here correlated with one or another of the forums?

NNTP is Usenet. It is a cesspool of miscreants, trolls, and over-analytical geeks. Don't go there. ...wait..... ...I post there... ...nevermind.

Yeah, this group seems to give good information. You just have to avoid the list police. Ignore them, they'll go away pretty soon. I find myself going between here, alt.os.linux.suse (NNTP), and the various forums. -- kai www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmmmmmm.......The List Police will NEVER go away!!! That is why we do not have your self described "cesspool of miscreants, trolls, and over-analytical geeks." We managed to make you behave properly and be respectful, didn't we ???? :-)

As you can see, no, it is not obsolete.

The message on the openSUSE wiki was a bit confusing. I moved today Novell hosted newsgroups in front of external sources to make clear that statement about synchronization relates to Gmane and some other web forums (I didn't checked is that). If it is OK, than you can use them for reading, but no one can post messages from external sources back to Novell server.

I'm subscribed to all of opensuse groups, and checkup of new postings is fast as groups are not oversized, so I'm able to catch all postings I'm interested in. That I can't say for this list.

See above.

Apropos news server news://support-forums.novell.com is hosting only Novell related newsgroups including few opensuse. The opensuse groups are liberally moderated, so there is no much of negativities that plague regular usenet. Server doesn't propagate messages posted on other usenet servers, nor web forums, so situation is pretty clean. -- Regards, Rajko M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
