I didn't see a single item that was even remotely on-topic for this list. Which is why it was labeled off-topic (OT:). Difficult to understand? Rather than getting your undies in a bunch, why not just hit the Delete button when you see a Subject line starting with OT:? Alternatively, there are a variety of ways to filter mail by the contents of the Subject line (and other parameters) programmatically. Do this and you'd never have to see an OT: labeled message again in your entire life. Judging from past experience, I guess we're now to enjoy three or four days of posts about OT posts (as opposed to perhaps four replies actually relevant to the original post). Finally, I'd suggest a list convention whereby if someone wishes to discuss/dispute tangential issues of this kind, they should prepend the words [Thread Cop] to the Subject line. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning John? :-) Yeah the CentOS mailing list is for CentOS matters but nowhere in the list rules have I seen one that says we can't post off topic questions. Asking if the power in another country is compatible with yours (or a friend's) laptop is off-topic but still within the bounds of an acceptable tech question for a *technical* mailing list. -- Drew Nothing in life is to be feared.

This is so very appropriate in a distro mailing list. And it's refreshing to see that I am not the only one that thinks that this entire thread is misplaced being here; seems the guidelines for the CentOS lists have been updated today.
