-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There have been a few people on this list over the years, who have attempted to take on the role of list moderator at one time or another. I do recall that Kirk had posted a message addressing this subject once upon a time, but after searching the archives for close to an hour, I can't find that post to save my life. Maybe another list veteran will be able to find that post in the archives, and post a url to it, or maybe Kirk himself will respond. What I'm about to state is as far as I can recall it, and let me stress that I don't mean to speak for Kirk here in anyway, I simply wish to reiterate what Kirk has said on this topic, as far as I can remember it, to address the just raised concern. - From what I can recall, Kirk has said in the past, that he generally will not play policeman here, unless that is warranted, which has only happened once as far as I can recall in the 7 or so years that I've been a member of this list. As for topic, from what I recall, Kirk has said in the past, that gnu/linux/unix is fine, as well as speech/screen readers under gnu/linux/unix. If my memory is correct, that's a very broad range of allowed topics, and as far as I can remember all recent posts on this list, including the one you were replying to, fall well within that range. Again, I don't wish to speak for Kirk, I'm only stating what I can recall as best as I can recall it. I'm sure that if I just said something improperly, or something that I shouldn't have said, I'll be corrected by the captain himself, or by someone with more authority than myself on what the list rules are. Kirk, if you want to respond, and post some loose general list guidelines, that could be fleshed out, I'd be willing to create a page with that info for the web site, so that there is a reference to settle issues like this one once and for all.
