hey mauriat... i'll say the same things i've said for over 25 years... if you really want to be on a list where you can control the content listed by various users... start your own moderated list. there's no reason why you can't have 10 million fedora email lists!! however, given that you have a public list, then yeah, you're going to get posts that you might not think should be on the 'list'... i'm sure we've all seen msgs that we might have felt shouldn't be on the given list that we're looking at... we deal with it, use the delete key.. and keep cruising. it works! or one can continue to bitch, and hope the person changes to meet your desires... peace -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mauriat M Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 5:23 AM To: For users of Fedora Subject: Re: New Computer On 8/27/07, bruce <bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > ed... and the rest of the guys... > > i for one don't have an issue with karl, or his posts... i imagine a number of others don't either. this is a public forum isn't it. it's not moderated/private, so i imagine there are quite a few people of varying ages/levels of expertise.. some will get something out of what he has to say.. others won't. > > but as you suggested. if you get tired of seeing msgs from someone, there are a multitude of ways to resolve the issue.. and i've found the delete key also still works!! > > peace! > Please do not top post. So does a "public forum" imply anything goes? Should a mailing list named 'fedora-list' be for Fedora related topics? Would it be better that everyone explains how many beeps their new power supply makes? Or how shiny the new glass is on the case? -- What could anyone get out of that? This type of "commentary" does not scale on such a mailing list. As much as I dislike the harshness and attitudes by some people, I do agree that is it not unwarranted. Mailing lists for a *specific* topic only work when their members abide by certain guidelines. -Mauriat -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
