Stop whinning and take a hike, one freaking post and the malcontents come crawling out of the word work. For crying out loud stop trolling and chill out. The other list was done as a courtesy by Christian. If you don't like it filter my email address. It's been well over a couple of months since an OT post. Get a life!!! Talk about rude. I only posted it since it has relavance to the OS market and especially in light of the financial belt tightening at SuSE. I'd think one simple post about this subject matter wouldn't send the more stoic SLE users into an apopletic fit. Guess I was wrong. Sorry I annoyed you. Don't worry I won't post again. But, IMHO ppl such as yourself have done a lot to kill the spirit that brought me and others to the list in the 1st place - shame. Have a good night.

That's what that list was set up for -- to keep these sorts of mails off the SuSE list.

I know that this is OT but I thought I'd post this because of possible impact on OS market.

C'mon Curtis, that's an over reaction. Jonathan's post was quite civil. The signal to noise ratio on this list has improved dramatically since the news chatter was taken elsewhere, plus people like me have been able to remove filters on some email addresses, like Fred's and yours. Having the separate news list seems to be working out fine; don't rock the boat by deliberately posting OT to the SuSE list.

Can we keep the complaints about off topic posts to the other list. Anybody who wants to read the complaints can sub to that list. Nick

Thanks for the update; I find it helpful that items like this are posted to the list. Doesn't mean that everybody needs to start a neverending discussion. That option can be directed to the chat lists but this allows for one to know whats happening without having to get all the chat chatter filling the inbox.

I heartily agree. And yes I *am*, in a sense, just lengthening the thread by voicing this opinion. If Curtis' original post had been allowed to pass without comment (as one or two other of the same kind have recently), there would be no need for me to do so.

I'll go with that, its a shame that the SuSE has lost some its atmosphere, but that should at least rekindle it a bit.

By the way I am not about to be bullied down by non-mailing list owners who want things 100% their way. Who actually suggested that OT postings get moved??

I made that thing happen with only one reason in mind: bandwith. We're sharing the bandwith for this server with ftp.suse.com, and I'd rather give the bandwith to the ftp-users (who suffer enough already) than use it here on OT stuff.
