Yes, I enjoy the first couple of posting sometimes. But after that ... > You don't have to read it you know. You see an off-topic thread, just > delete the whole thread.

Problem here is that some of the Debian lists do not work right. No digest on a high traffic list means provider mailbox fills and then bounces and then one is automatically unsubscribed. This is the only one I have been able to stay on. When its digest was not working, I was kicked off every other day. (Yes, if I wanted to leave my computer on 24/7 and pay for a fixed IP, I could dispense with the provider's email server, smarthosting and the like and let my exim4 do the work (which it does quite well). Then again, the /var partition will fill up producing the same results. So ... let's have fun but consider onr another and keep things reasonable.)
