That is true, but look at the confusion it causes --- it gives the impression that anything can be discussed because it is Debian users discussing it. By emphasizing that debian-user is for support then the off-topic list will be better utilised for discussion. > (Also note, apropos discussion of moderation - the list page states > "This list is not moderated; posting is allowed by anyone.") I thought there was a difference between a closed list (only subscribers can post) and a moderated list (each post is scrutinised for eligibility) --- or have I got the wrong end of the stick? -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
