I remain on the list though I am in a land far far away, in the hope that I will come across some good, linux-centric or tech-centric content. I do not care about FOSS vs commercial solutions, except where there's a practical discussion. There are a number of users' posts that I consider annoying drivel, yet I choose to let those hit the bit bucket.
If there's enough interest, perhaps a second offtopic or anything goes list could be created, to keep the main list on track. For example: Main list: - Has anyone tried Ubuntu 10.04 yet? - Should I install 32 bit or 64 bit versions? - How hard is it to pass the LPI test? - Does anyone have experience with scaling in Amazon EC2, a la Rightscale or scalr? - How do I donate a used computer in the HV region? Off topic list: - DJB, deity or complete idiot? - Why does Richard Stallman wear birkenstocks? - Write to your congressman about this bill, it's important! You get the drift. Not sure where I'd put the "why are there so many Macs at tech conferences?" but for me it's a main list topic, as it relates to linux/unix. If a second list is too much hassle, we could also let people add an [offtopic] tag to their subject line, but that rarely works. I agree that moderation is a waste of Sean's time and there should be no reason for it. Cheers, Dan
