That bit of brilliant thinking could be used to justify posting absolutely anything to any list, "since you are subscribed" to it. It could also be used to justify urinating in any kiddy pool you happen to be standing in. > You don't have to bother the list with those "smart ass" comments > about OT posts.

(They should discourage you from doing it again as well, but that doesn't seem to be working very well.) It does create a lot of traffic which wouldn't have been necessary if you hadn't abused the list in the first place, but posting disapproval is the best way for a community to regulate itself when someone makes a choice as bad as the one you have made. Behaving however you want no matter how others feel about it is not only arrogant but rather stupid, at least in case you wanted to continue to use the list to discuss Gentoo issues. A simple "it won't happen again" would probably have sufficed to make the list useful to you going forward, and maybe it still would. -- [email protected] mailing list
