Make an on list request first to write the individual you seek.
That way they know not to consider you a spam slice.

Hello Al and everyone else.
How may I write to someone, if I want to explore a linux topic with someone off list?

My objection to using "literally" figuratively is that we then have to find a new word for literally. In the example here, "exploded" is enough and is figurative anyway.
I'll skip the other stuff, and take a second of amusement that this became a topic on a Linux list. (Then again, computers are quite literal--in their numeric fashion.
Best!

Yeah, I don't really get the objection to the word "share" in the
context of telling someone about an experience, and while saying
someone has issues is vaguer than saying someone's nuts, I don't
really see such as euphemistic... granted, someone having issues could
just as easily refer to everyday stress and/or bad luck.
I'm also okay with the word "literally" being used figuratively(e.g.
saying someone literally exploded as metaphor/hyperbole for a fit of
anger).
Then again, perhaps my inner linguist is just more of a descriptivist
than a prescriptivist.
