The first message using the [Kooler] tag and suggesting the idea is from me, but to quote that message: <quote> Lan Barnes has noted that some of us hang out in the KPLUG a lot like folks hanging around the water cooler in an office. We like to bs with each other and the talk is certainly not all technical. Nothing really wrong with that. In fact for some of us it is an important social outlet. </quote> http://www.kernel-panic.org/pipermail/kplug-list/1999-August/006565.html Later on Tracy suggested the [Kooler] list and a big flame war erupted over which was better Kooler list or [Kooler] tag. I was with the tag crowd for quite a while but eventually the list won out ... Lan has the first post on the Kooler list, which IIRR Tracy created by fiat. See http://www.kernel-panic.org/pipermail/kplug-kooler/2000-April/thread.html though the [Kooler] tag keeps popping up from time to time like the Energizer Bunny. When I get the time (Ha, as if that will ever happen) I can dig back through the archives and lay all this out in more detail, BobLQ -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
