hi ed,
as usual im cc-ing you as im pretty sure the post addressed to the group
will bounce back to me after a day or two. can i ask you a favor to resend
this to the list? thanks...
the mandrakeuser.org/mub has a talk!talk! section which will be fine for
talking about anything under the sun. the message board also contains a lot
of posts and solutions (just as fine as the ones contained on this wonderful
list). the board, although loosely 'moderated' by tom (tom has been known to
say that it takes too much time so the board is relatively unmoderated right
now), is inhabited by different kinds of people and maintains a generally
friendly and community atmosphere. as long as you post in the right forum
and respect the right of other posters then you wont get flamed. it also has
its share of 'bad' posters but their number is too small to be considered a
major problem. the good thing about the messageboard is you can disregard
other topics which has no interesting value to you and spare you the time
that it consumes from downloading and reading. a more loose mandrake board
is located at
http://linux.thayne.ws which is hosted by one of the top posters on the mub.
now, there has been an upsurge on (relatively) non-helpful mails in the
past few days (weeks?). while i respect the opinions of the persons
concerned, i agree that not all subscribers should be subjected to such high
amount of non-useful (to my opinion only) emails. as ed (and some others)
has implied, you may have the bandwidth and the time but you are not us and
neither are we you. you may be imparting 'gems' of thought to me but to me
its just coal. i can use filters but then i would still have to download the
mails before i can filter them. i can filter those with 'OT' on the subject
line but i will be missing a lot of informative and humorous posts what was
marked as such.
to mr. john rigby. you may be experienced in your field and you may be a
non-geek user but dont jam it on our throats every single time. call me a
geek, call me a nerd, call me anything to alienate me from you but please
respect my intentions when i joined this list and your posts are not one of
them. i cant make you shut-up and have no direct right to. criticisms may be
good but you are barking on the wrong tree as this list is majorly composed
of users and not Mandrake employees. you said that there are 'non-geek'
users here who have emailed you and said to not say their name in fear of
being rebuked but they agree with what you are saying. you also said that
there should be an avenue for your kind of posts and a separate list to
segregate the geek from the non-geek. i agree with you so im proposing that
you create another list just for that and the people that emailed you
privately here could then join that list with you and 'be free of the fear'
of being rebuked by the malcontent, evil mail assasins cum fire-brigade
regulars here. you could create such a list fron yahoogroups or something.
if you cant create one then i will volunteer to create it for you and hand
you the moderatorship. may you find joy in continuing your posts there and
the persons who agree with you can then chime in and maybe, just maybe, you
could make a difference. you are still welcome to join here to ask, receive
answers, and maybe post a little OT posts that would _interest the
majority_.
regarding the last statement, i have been a member of this list for some
time but have no absolute right to say what can and what cannot be done here.
i have been experiencing mail troubles here at the office so i cannot post
directly to the list but answer what i can to the person asking questions. i
dont wish to be enganged in any fight/flame war as i joined this list to
learn and contribute sometimes back to the community that helped me so much.
thank you and have a good day.
ciao!
