Calm down before things get nasty, this isn't Gentoo it's Debian ;D But seriously, no need for attacking each other here. [OT] is bad enough, but of course you can just filter [OT] messages to be deleted using procmail, or something like that. And seriously, I've noticed most OT threads and "No more OT" threads become flamewars. I personally think that these threads are worse than the actual OT threads. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
