#2 should probably start, "By distribution I mean one of Debian stable, Debian testing, Debian unstable distributions, not Knoppix, Stormix, etc." #6 should probably s/frowned upon/prohibited. #9 should probably include an introduction of Reply-to-List and a list of modern MUAs that (properly) support such basic functionality as replying properly. #11 is incorrect. Anything unrelated to Debian *users* is off-topic (the archives and the list webpage can attest to this). The #1 at the end of the page about the list for newbies should be self-evident (if not answered by a list archive but by common sense...who wants to read a list of almost nothing but can't-be-bothered-to-google questions?). #2 in that same section is redundant with #9 above. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
