I mean - every one can put forward a > proposition. Everyone can spam numerous mailing lists; they don't. Everyone can lie and claim to be an attorney; they don't. Everyone can make an effort to hide their identity; they don't. Everyone can resurrect a topic which has received previous exposure on -user; they don't. Everyone can start an email with a pompous "It has come to my attention...."; they don't. Everyone can write a mail looking like they know what they are talking about and inudate mailing lists about it; they don't. Everyone can be inconsiderate, unthinking, self-centred, rude, unthinking, foolish, uninformed or lacking in nouse when posting to debian-user. The OP has managed all of these simultaneously. Anyone can can put forward a proposition on -user. That does not mean it needs to be taken as requiring a response. Trusting the OP as a person of integrity requires a feat of the imagination. Some appear to possess it. > The statement was clear and from argumentative point of you > OK. It was definitely informative.

This mailing list thankfully spends most of its time trying to help users. It suceeds in many, many ways. If this is on the left - put me there rather than with the bonkers posters. -- Brian.
