Ellows, Just my two cents in this whole "what to discuss where" thread which i see re-occuring 3 times every week (and it gets tiresome to be honest). Someone put a wonderfull metaphore last week "opensolaris-discuss is like a square where you can meet and have a talk", something like that. And i agree with this. This means, in my opinion, that anyone should be able to shout something which might interest someone else reading this list, with the restriction that it's opensolaris related. Then, when you want to discuss something in depth which might not interest everybody but a selective group, in real life (yes it exists) you'd go to a pub, to a club house, to someone's home, whatever. In this case you'd go to a specific mailing list handling the matter you want to discuss. In short: opensolaris-discuss should be used and accepted for any input regarding opensolaris, for specific or in depth discussions you may want to and should be able to redirect users NICELY and POLITELY to an appropiate list without making them feel unwanted. Seriously, this is getting silly. Patrick _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
