Hey, there is actually a web page there. I really _love_ how the default response on this list for any problem is to treat one as an idiot and openly show one's contempt. The information about subscribing to the mailing list can be found at the Git home page at <URL:http://git.or.cz/#community>. It does not mention anything like a mailing list home page. Only the archives are mentioned, and those contain no pointer whatsoever. It does remind me of the late Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy: `...You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anyone or anything.' `But the plans were on display...' `On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.' `That's the display department.' `With a torch.' `Ah, well the lights had probably gone.' `So had the stairs.' `But look you found the notice didn't you?' `Yes,' said Arthur, `yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of The Leopard".' Anyway, with your pointer I might be able to work through the stuff and figure out what makes vger so unique here as a mailing list host. On the other hand: why bother participating in a community that turns openly hostile whenever one experiences problems? Where is the fun in that? That one will at one point of time be in the situation to lambast others for their shortcomings, and feel that one is entirely in-style doing so here? Is it really impossible to proffer any information without a denigrating sneer? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
