And how about people stop saying things like "Thank you, I followed your advice
and it worked" or "Mandrake is a great distro" or other ridiculus stuff like
that on the list? If someone helped you out, you can thank him in a private
mail. If you think mandrake is a great distro, nice. So do most people on this
list, so you're telling us nothing new or interresting. What are you all? A
bunch of internet-newbies exploring the wonders of electronic mail? Why not send
in some chain-letters and silly jokes as well, while you're at it? If you're
looking for a way to get famous, spamming mailing lists is not the way to
go. Start up a rockband or shoot some sick adult movies with you and a donkey on
LSD in the lead roles.
And last but not least READ YOUR FRIGGING SUBSCRIPTION CONFIRMATION MAILS on how
to unsubscribe. I'm tired of getting these stupid mails in my mailbox.
Ok, so this _IS_ a newbie list, but come on... Newbie doesn't necessarily have
to mean stupid, ignorant or idiot.
I have nothing against high-traffic mailing lists since I skim these lists
anyway, deleting all uninterresting mail prior to reading anything. But the
silly stuff that passes by on this list is really really sickening. A little bit
of netiquette would be nice, people.

Unix IS user-friendly. It's just not ignorant-friendly
or idiot-friendly.
