"banning immediately" is surely exaggerated. Off-topic threads are not a problem, but thread hijacking and spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt is; especially if the rant spreads over many pages and if there's plenty of main-stream media coverage and there are many better suited fori (forums) to discuss the issue at hand: Write a blog and send us a link. Or write a song about the issue and we're back in business ;-) There's > 2500 subscribers to this list and it's not only a waste of resources but may just drive away some of them. just my two cents, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
