Its clear that he is posting new articles about "Ubuntu Linux" which per se is list acceptable which also means that he is conscious about what article goes to which list :-) , unless he has a way of filtering articles to certain lists. Yes this list isn't a replacement RSS feed - but as of now I am personally ok receiving these ubuntu specific mails. I agree with you (manish) on 2 points though 1, Not providing a link to the original is not a good idea - in fact that would be the minimum we accept 2. technically his is not a blog - however it would not be good to have bloggers post their articles - without ever participating in other discussions. The list ain't a free advetisement boards so if the real Marius nestor were to stand up and say hi, here i am and i am not a bot it would be a good step. ram
