As one of the "offenders", my main reason is this:
So many people do not bother to read manuals or FAQs, they simply bash out
an email because it is easy and quick. However, most of these questions can
be answered quickly by doing the research. You may not think that important,
but when you subscribe to a large number of mailling lists as I do,
receiving 100s of rubbish messages a day from these mailling lists is very
annoying.
If anybody feels insulted by my posts - tough, they should all be adult
enough to realise that I am not insulting anybody personally, I just do not
like receiving unnecessary email.
Anyway, to get this message back on to the subject of Qpopper....
Does anyone else think that it is a bit odd to sell beta software??? When
Qpopper LX is released as final, I may well buy a copy. While it is still in
test mode and unfinished, no chance.

Hi everyone
I've just joined the qpopper list. I recently had the job of setting up an
email server at work. We provide a small number (30 odd) pop boxes to a
couple of clients for whom we built websites. I really enjoyed the process
of building the server (RH 6.2) and have found linux a very responsive,
reliable OS. I joined this list because I thought it would be a useful
resource. Unfortunately 50% of the mails I have read so far have been people
bickering and shouting at each other. I have found this with other lists
that I have joined, notably the Sussex (england) LUG. Are we intelligent
adults who can discuss common interests for the benefit of all of us or are
we not ? Doubtless I will recieve a storm of abuse in reply to this mail,
validating my sending it in the first place. Come on guys, where's the
spirit of the open source community ? NB : COMMUNITY ! ! ! !
