First off, Marco, I think Peter was not speaking to you in that case, but the other bitching guy, who hasn't said as much as you, but all he said was negative, much like you. You may have realized that, and decided to answer anyway, on your own behalf. Your wording seems to be able to go either way on that one.

I think bitching about the same thing over and over again, offering the same rejected and generally "poo-pooed" so-called "solution" everytime pretty much falls under the label "Trolling". > > I have been subscribed for a short time to the Linux Kernel developers > list.

The method we have working gets all the messages to the subscribed and the unsubscribed without flooding the unsub's mailbox with a lot of "helpful" reposts from multiple volunteers. The only drawback is that annoys *YOU*. And, I for one, am willing to live with that ineffectiveness. -- -Chad Smith --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
