In order to get Debian to work, I needed help from this site. The price has been the endless spam, almost all which has either MS or Microsoft in the return addresses.
Apparently, some of the real devotees of this site insist that they still want email addresses posted with messages. Many of us believe that the deluge of spam is too high a price to pay for the help provided here. Here is a suggested comprise. Let Debian set up two different debian-user lists, one with and one without posting of addresses. Let Debian warn new users of the situation and let them choose their list. I realize that some of the objectors to change are real experts who help us all. However, I suspect some experts will still be willing to help on a list that doesn't give addresses. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
