A reasonable and right-thinking person knows what the purpose of any mailing list is and is aware that posting mails which do not serve the purpose of the list is ill-mannered and inconsiderate. A dedicated list for such people is taking it to far. Especially as it has all the flavour of closing the stable door. I'd suggest vgui-discuss as a suitable test-bed. Or debian-devel for living dangerously. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
