Cpanel and GRUB are completely unrelated. Web browsers and GRUB are completely unrelated. This is not a general purpose IT list. Nvidia and linux are very much related at a kernel level and seems quite appropriate on lkml. Your analogy is fatally flawed. Even nvidia is on-topic for help-grub because GRUB2 does have video drivers and settings. Clutter on a list causes seekers and givers of help on the subject matter to leave. This is a very vertical list, and it would not surprise me if it gets so little on-topic activity, because long ago people figured out they don't get meaningful help on grub, but instead receive clutter in their inboxes. The useful purpose of the list is diluted by such grossly off topic emails. RFC 1855 3.1.1 also includes the admonition to not wander off-topic on mailing lists. It also says to take disagreements off list. I tried to keep this off list. But then you and the other troll bring off-line emails back into the list without permission, which is incompatible with netiquette, copyright law and RFC 1855 2.1.1. The notices expressly telling people that personal emails aren't to be redistributed are for those who don't understand copyright. By default copyright is attached immediately to the author's email (the person writing it or their employer in some cases).
