I'd rather just see users who repeatedly ask questions (after a reminder
that the list is hlds_Linux, not linuxhelp) removed from this list.

It does get irritating seeing constant posts about fedora's plethora of
flaws but isn't that much of a problem. Being on yet another mailing
list is a bit pointless, though I'd sign up to it if such a thing exists
and try it, though I think it's unlikely that many people will jump ship
because I personally would worry about missing a thread on this list
that might be of interest.

What about people running GSP's like myself that aren't companies? I
still run 15 public servers but I wouldn't be able to join the said list.

Or people could just ignore the posts asking non hlds related questions
and avoid feeding the problem :-)

Just my thoughts.
