But a point needs to be raised that everyone should read and comprehend. This list has maybe a few thousand subscribers. I would guess that English Debian has many tens of thousands of users. Most of those users find answers to their questions in the list archives, either via Google or directly searching the sites that archive this list. OT messages get archived with the rest. Depending on the search text, it's likely one will get hits to these OT threads. Do I need to elaborate on what a time waster this can be? Apparently because they are self centered individuals, many/most responders to my message assumed I was scolding the the OT threads because they were directly affecting me negatively. This is true to a very minor degree. These same people are either unaware of the bigger picture, or simply choose to ignore it. The content of this list has a much larger audience than the list members. Please keep those folks who search the archives in mind when clogging the list with OT content. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
