The topic of this list is *not* questions and answers. It is "General discussions about SuSE Linux".
Reducing this list to Yet Another Digest List would be *extremely* boring.
This is a community. Not a way for highly paid sysadmins to get free advice they should know already. If you want a digest list there are plenty of those around already

Actually I find that some of the "back and forth" does produce a nice set of possible solutions and displays troubleshooting techniques. Very worthwhile is the teaching of the way to break down a problem and thought-process which may eliminate a possible cause (ie. scientific method).
I have to agree strongly with the above- a lot of posts/threads I ignore and delete, some posts/threads I check to see if there is anything of interest (even if the subject doesn't immediately appeal), and some I follow all the way. I usually benefit from this approach, and if I dislike the way a thread is going I don't have to follow it. Terence
