That's the concern more people seems to have. Many of the off-topic messages in -private are in the limbo between d-d and d-d-a. I made this confusion once, and it's pretty common to see this happening on -private. Maybe I'm having a wrong impression, but I do think the reason for most of the misuse of -private is related to this. > The issue with -devel being too high traffic and off-topic is of course > still there; That's something important. > the GNOME dudes seems to somehow manage that by making up > new lists and more recently to vigorously silence non-developers when > matters get off-topic. Silence off-topic threads is a suggestion that was already considered in debian.

In this way I thought about a moderated list to ensure a lower traffic. daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
