I find the mailing lists and its archives an invaluable resource when I need to fix a specific problem. Chances are someone has experienced that same problem as me and has a solution that I can build off of =) I find some threads go off topic with people trying to have other debates or discussions. This makes it hard to read through a thread and catch the on-topic posts and see the solution to the original problem. Don't get me wrong, when help comes, it is usually more than what's needed and becomes insightful as I learn more about Linux and openSUSE in general. In fact, I'm not reading this list for much help anymore, but just to entertain myself and watch people flame or bicker at each other. I even look forward to it on Sunday and know what users to look for to read an amusing argument =) I don't think there is a reporting mechanism (at least couldn't find one searchable through the archive) to report a topic as off-topic and get it removed. What can I do to help this situation when it comes up and I find topics going off the radar? Do end users like me maybe just post to that thread and reference some guidelines for posting on the mailing list that would include "staying on-topic"? Is there a link I can use with best-practices or guidelines? I couldn't find one at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels - I have trouble seeing the little things so if it is in a corner of the page in text with a size of pt 6 in grey italics, please forgive me =) SaultDon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
