To me, the topic of this list being "Development discussions related to Fedora Core" is not limited to writing/hacking code. Developing a distribution is a complex matter. I might even go so far as to suggest that most of the work is *not* found in the code. The conversations that are about code things have obvious place here. Perhaps there could be merit in splitting *all* the other things into another list. However, I feel that the current situation with this list is the correct way for things go. I do not feel that these discussions (including this one :) ) have been OT for this list. There are plenty of threads on here within which I have not read all the posts. As another already pointed out, your MUA should let you flag such threads so that future posts are marked as read. I don't do that, myself. Instead, I glance at most of the messages to be sure something new hasn't come into the conversation that would interest me (this takes like .1 seconds per post, if that, on average). If it does, I read; if it bores me, I move on. I don't have to read every word ever written (not that I'm suggesting that you do or that you suggested such). Personally, I would prefer to not have YAL to subscribe too. -- Lamont R. Peterson <lamont@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Senior Instructor Guru Labs, L.C.
