Yeah I am - I had to re-subscribe to send my farewell ;( Don't be sad in my case Nick - I have been thinking for some time that I should do this - trouble is it is a bit addictive and I have a tendency to check the listings when I should be working, just trying to sort my life out a bit is all - prioritise and so forth.
I have nothing against the volume of traffic per se and even commented as such recently - but I hope that I will be able to pick and choose a little more by looking at the archive. I use the Orcon web interface and it dosn't seem to have all the fancy tools for following threads etc - wheras in the archive I can sort by thread or date or whatever. if I have something come up that I need some feedback on I will just have to resubscribe temporarily. So I guess it was aurevoir and not goodbye after all :) Lance PS - sorry - Nick - I know I sent this to you already - meant to reply to the list not to you - got caught in my haste. I note some mention of journaled (daily) version of the list in ongoing discussion, I for one would be interested in this - it has worked well for me with lists such as the Knoppix one and a couple of others I have looked at. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Rout Sent: Wed, 26 May 2004 11:48:49 +1200 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Good bye and thank you. This is interesting and a little sad. One of Don's justifications for persistently asking questions which some people found annoying was to keep the list traffic up, so people could see something happening. Ironically here is a subscriber who has unsubbed because of too much traffic. See you and thanks for your contributions Lance (if you are still listening) On Wed, 26 May 2004 11:40:59 +1200 (NZST) Lance Blackler wrote: > Well it is good bye from me, and a big thank you to all of you happy Linux users for > all that I have learned from the list, it has been a rewarding experience. > > I have though decided to un-subscribe as I cannot afford the time to keep up with > the emails, I will instead look up the archives from time to time. > > Aurevoir > > Lance Blackler > Registered user # 281213 -- Nick Rout
