And where is the usual place? Those "in the know on debian-ppc" either have the worst habits for posting to archived and searchable mailing lists I have ever encountered or else you are going out of your way to make the information accessible to only a few select people who are "in the know." If this is the case, why do you bother to use what is supposed to be a free, open and searchable archive of shared information? After manually wandering through the archives, I've found that posts which included the relevant links to be the exception. (Despite outright requests) I can only wonder how useful visitors will find this archive when the search engine becomes usable. Most individuals "lurk" and search mailing lists for months before posting. Usually they get all the answers they need from the archives because helpful people gave COMPLETE ANSWERS with THE LINKS INCLUDED. Rather than requiring each individual to hope someone will take pity and answer them individually and remember to include the relevant links. >And if you want to get any kind of response at all, >can you please USE A REAL EMAIL ADDRESS? No, No, No! I don't want a personal and private response. If you can't say it to everyone, I don't want to hear it! I was under the mistaken(?) belief that Debian was supposed to be OPEN development!!!!!!! Or is this really a private club and a private eMail address is just the first of the many unwritten rules for joining? Sorry for the RANTING but I am getting so frustrated by this list I've never encountered a group that operates this way. --------- TIA Layne
