Yes, and that many more filters and mailboxes to maintain in kmail. As I have well over a screens height of folders for kmail now (because my interests are best described as eclectic), I consider the consequences of adding yet another subscription to the mix. >do you, and wish others to, think you are just a 'users'? from all >of your post that i have read, i do not think that lowly of you. >[reread before you take offense] Understood, no problem, and thanks. :) >if you read intent of each list, and as shown at; > https://redhat.com/mailman/listinfo >you will note that there is a difference in description of the 2 list. > >fedora-announce-list@xxxxxxxxxx = 'Announcements related to the Fedora > Project' > >fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx = 'For users of Fedora' > >so, log back on https://redhat.com/mailman/listinfo and have another look. Not required now that I know, but my point is 100% valid, if it effects the common user, as this does, then the announcement DOES belong on the users list. And I see I am being agreed with by other responders. OT: I need to learn something of your native tongue (& I'm not even sure what it is), your 'sig' is a puzzle to an english only speaker. One who is constantly amazed that while there are some languages other than english in use on the net, much of the rest of the planet has learned it in order to converse with the english speakers, and in fact have often learned it better that those of us who've been speaking it since we learned to talk. At my age, and 'formal' education level (8th grade, 1940's style, self educated beyond that), I don't ever expect to become fluent in another language, and I'm grateful that the rest of the planet thinks its worthwhile to learn my language. You know who you are, and I Thank you. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
