Well that's just a problem with your filtering system :-) > > If you aren't seeing something like this, then I would suggest an email to > Dave with the details so he could look into it. What I was think that was wrong that if any list member can post then the 'events' list can turning into a discussion place - which is probably not what we want.... Ideally I think that posting to events list should be limited to the exec. Or at the very least the return address should be set to 'clug-talk' so that conversations are redirected there. The advantage is that we can make the 'events' very low bandwidth and topical to it's purpose - that way subscribers who aren't totally into Linux may be more likely to stay subscribed.
