When you decided to join this list you did so with the knowledge that this was a -high- volume list and these things can be expected. Your choice is simple either keep deleting these messages when they arrive or leave the list. No one on this list has any control over the messages posted here as this list is -not- moderated. I will agree that some of the threads here lately are becoming a bit mush and should be moved to the off topic list 3. What is not appropriate content for the list? A3. Commercial postings of any kind, job postings, non-computer/Linux related material. Because of the large size of the list (1500 subscribers and ~200 messages per day), flame wars and off-topic posting can sometimes result in you being unsubscribed and, in extreme cases, banned from the list. Also, please unsubscribe now if you planning on posting advocacy-type things. We have a list specifically devoted to these sorts of discussion, suse-ot. suse-ot-subscribe@suse.com -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*

?? Huh?

Look at the welcome message you received when you joined the list. You did keep it didn't you? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*

Procmail is available, if you would prefer to not see his postings. ps: Your top-posting and full quoting is *just* as objectionable. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

Gee, maybe it's time we start voting people 'off the island'. :-(

After about 5 posts in that thread I killfiled the initiator, and every email that contained his name. Saved me quite a headache! ;P Cheers, Leen
