For this purpose, I have raised objections about Girish's postings, which are pretty high in noise, IMHO. Now, you have lumped my objections together with his noise. If we allow Girish to keep posting his technically inaccurate rants on this list, then we also have to allow people to correct the inaccuracies, to prevent misinformation. There are better forums for Girish to accomplish his worthy aim of knowledge-sharing. He has already been told this several times. You choices are: 1. tolerate Girish, and tolerate those who correct him. 2. ask the list moderator to ban Girish, and anybody else you don't like to hear from. 3. use email filters, and improve the signal to noise ratio for yourself, and not for the list. I am here to exchange knowledge about GNU/Linux and FOSS. Yet this list seems to lack the will to self-govern. Please let's get administrative issues out of the way, to keep the discussion technical and interesting. Cheers, - Ashwin. -- ================================================= Subvert the dominant paradigm.
