Wojciech, you want to respect POLA: the principle of least astonishment. It's
could you explain this more. really first time i read this phrase :)
not often applied to things like mailing lists, but folks exepct to see tech
support on FreeBSD-Questions,
me too, support about FREEBSD, not spam about others.
and things like FreeBSD-boosterisms and flamewars
on FreeBSD-chat, where they really are within the list rules.
Expecting any possible solution to work 100% of the time (especially anything
i don't expect it to work 100% of time, but most of time.
current slution doesn't work most of the time, giving 10% about FreeBSD
and 90% off-topic, even excluding "flamewars".
dealing with humans) is a very unfair tactic in trying to justify any
view.
What you want to look for is a solution that causes the least problems, and
respecting the list rules does that.
Where are this rules defined?
best with moderation BUT EVEN WITHOUT, but with clearly defined rules on
webpage it could be efficient.
the more clear - the more efficient. possibly some most-common examples to
make it even clearer.
It won't fix all problems, but it does
keep the noise level on our lists to a minimum, and maximizes the amount of help
that can be passed on our lists.
Help at all or help about FreeBSD. if at all - then let it be about
everything.
Another question - some of you said that "outdated" hardware is welcome
too as gifts for FreeBSD team.
I actually have lots of them, and NON-typical things, that would be
useful. I prepared a list, and can make photos.
I already sent a mail to one developer but got no response. Maybe he is
just busy or absent, anyway what's the best address for this.
just got this after a day:

No, I had never said it. Please, stop spamming me.

OK so fuck off Boris, but we were talking some time ago about dumping
potential sponsors ;)
anyone want to see my mail(s) it was a reply to?
