This is not an exscuse. linux-kernel is not some place for making people "aware" of some important non-Linux issue, just like any other mailing list is not an appropriate place for off-topic discussions. The importance of the issue makes your posting no less inappropriate, so please don't use that as a justification. The fact that you believe that posting this on somewhere more appropriate is "without gain" is not an exscuse either. Or perhaps you think it's appropriate to crap on just about any mailing list in the world as long as the issue is "important"? linux-kernel is not to be used as a bullhorn for people to use as they feel like to spread whatever information they want. So the next person who does this will be black-listed at vger.kernel.org forever, as I am explicitly stating right now that our policy is that this kind of posting is inappropriate. NO exceptions. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
