Agree, on all of those points, with bells on. > For example, this list (community@) is a *horrible* waste of time that adds > little value: almost every topic here has a more appropriate list elsewhere > in the ASF (or, ideally, outside of the ASF). Disagree. There are many topics that need to be on a list that reaches across projects. I often have issues that i want to raise with a broader audience. Sure, we need to think about it and send to other lists as appropriate. > But, people seem to use this > list as a dumping ground and are often too lazy to think > about what the > 'proper' list is - instead they just post to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Agree. People need to be discerning. We should either just ignore inappropriate postings or ask the poster to desist. The community should moderate them. BTW, i thought that Antonio's alert about another potential M$ attack was warranted. He seems to care for the ASF as a whole. On which other list is he going to alert us all? -- David Crossley --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
