I appear to have done something very wrong when sending my posing to which Theo refers. But I don't know what! It appears to be perfectly OK here.
What you are being told is that you REPLIED to a post with the subject '[SLE] SuSE 8.0 Review' with a NEW UNRELATED subject '[SLE] Compile error.'. Effectively you changed the thread(subject) in the middle of the conversation. It is as if you were standing in a group of (?) 10 people discussing the pros/cons of SuSE distro vs RedHat, and you, gaining the floor, began discussing football (us) vs football (soccer, rest of the world). The rest of the group would find you alien, and you are accomplishing the same thing in the above actions. The proper action would be to begin a NEW THREAD with YOUR SUBJECT with a NEW POSTING to the list, NOT A REPLY TO AN EXISTING POST. We all would appreciate your continued posting, but please try to conform to the societal rules of the list. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
