Hi Andy,
On the web page "other.html" there is a link to "Report broken
links". Most of these messages are coming from people that are not
subscribed to this list, so I see and approve them to be sent to the
list. As I always do I send a short reply to the user to let them
know that the message has been approved for the list. Today I
received a message from one such user wanting his address removed
from the message. I informed them that it could not be removed.
I'm really very sorry for the many extra work you have at the moment.
It is not the "extra work". I get far more messages that just get
deleted. I was not complaining, just letting those that have access to
the web site for editing that it could be a problem. A simple "Be aware
that the address is to a mailing list" would let people know that the
message will be archived forever before they send it.
OK, I can add 1-2 sentences about this to the section.
With that as background I would like to suggest that some type of
addition be made to let users know that any message is sent to a
mailing list and not to anyone person.
I've deactivated the section for the moment. It doesn't make sense as
it's always the same message but we cannot change the situation.
Agree but something should be done to fix the problem, not hid it.
Of course, however my point of view is to test and release these builds.
It's only about the Windows and Linux 32-bit RPM version with and
without the included JRE.
When testing the wJRE build and it was successful, then it should be
easy to do a simplier test for the nonJRE build as it is same than the
other, just without the Java part. Just a bit more time for testing is
needed for the additional build.
But others have a different opinion about this topic. ;-)
One more thing, who do I need to ask about being removed from the
moderator position?
Honesty, I've no idea how this is organized on the mailing lists.
Please, may I ask you to wait a bit more and to rethink your request?
I'm really confident that these kind of messages will go away when the
new realease calms down and some specific builds are published.
Floeff was in charge when I was made a moderator. All I am looking for
right now is a name and address. I will stay with it for a couple more
months but the time is coming when someone will have to take over. I
have plans that by mid year I will be moving and not have time to do it
properly any more.
Maybe Stefan can help, so he should know about this change in the near
future.
Best regards
Marcus
