Hal Burgiss is providing a valuable service by providing the procmail
rules. Many of us have very limited time to read the various lists - I
subscribe to about a half-dozen Red hat or Linux-related lists and I need
to be selective about which posts to reply to and which I'll defer to
someone else. If I can avoid the posts that have a subject line of
"test" or contain "out of office" than I can concentrate on those posts
for which I may add value. I responded to this because I think I need
to state that Hal is adding value to this list and I appreciate the work
he's done. I haven't incorporated all his rules, but certainly have
added a few.
There is no retaliation involved. If subject lines are phrased such
that the poster has shown respect for the reader, then it will pass the
procmail rules that Hal's posted so far.
Thanks, Hal.
