>From the guidelines (http://kandalaya.org/guidelines.html):
Don't post Offtopic messages. NO, we dont want to know if a really
cool MP3 site with whole GNR collections is out there, or if the
taste of Coke's changed again! Try being as close to Linux, GNU,
Free Software and/or Open Source as you can be, and if the itch is
irresistible, let it atleast have to do something with computers.
IMO even the meanest intelligence would be able to make sense out of
that excerpt, and it would require a very special kind of stupidity to
post about GNR (or equivalent) after reading that.
And is it really only my job to ensure that the list stays meaningful
and on-topic? I'd agree that is the case if I owned the list, but
frankly (which unfortunately again means rudely), the options are
either (a) I do own the list, in which case everyone submits to
whatever arbitrary decisions I make and Amit and his ilk are out as of
yesterday, as is anyone who doesn't like my brand of shoes, my type of
music or my preference in cigarettes, or (b) we all own the list, in
which case we all take responsibility for the content that gets posted
on to it.
In other words, the guidelines are there, your suggestion to post them
automatically to the list is there, what are you waiting for? :)
