I think what really bothers me is that he's manipulating the listserv, and all of its readers, by posting such a large advertisement in the signature of his messages; we have to suffer it, and it also appears in any archives for the listserv. Thereby giving the pyramid scheme-esque hyperlinks credibility to search engine spiders, at the expense of the credibility of the listserv itself. I think it is extremely bad taste, regardless of what an RFC suggests. I'm requesting that the list maintainers please set a policy against these kinds of things, with banishment as punishment. Please, let's keep this thing on target and useful for GNU/Linux conversations. -jlf _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Oct 3 - Security and Privacy Nov 7 - Django Python Application Framework
