Hi Ralph, Why are you writing to me? It might imply I did send you this email in the first place. Even though I did not, I concur with the original author although I'd like to phrase it differently: Please ask only Linux audio hw/sw development related questions here. When answering, please stick to your expertise. Stop guessing, brainstorming and spreading FUD. Joern formulated this once like this: /* before sending mail */ if (i_know_what_im_talking_about()) { send(); } else { discard(); sleep(3600); } Some of your comments or OT discussions would have been better on LAU (where most of the Devs are subscribed as well). I fail to see how you are involved in developing any linux-audio application, so please refrains from posting here. As you can read on the description at http://linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/ "The linux-audio developer (LAD) mailing list is the place to discuss and share in depth information concerning design, development and architecture of linux audio related Hard- and Software. It's a fun place to lure and learn. yet, take your time and think before posting there: This is not the list to report generic linux audio bugs to developers." Replying to your own emails N times and doing so quite often is not only very bad netiquette, but annoying to many serious contributors here. If you can't resist: write a blog. Let me repeat an earlier advice which seems to have not sunken in: Please read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html in particular don't skip the "A wrong but authoritative-sounding answer is worse than none at all." section. and from http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1855 aka "Netiquette Guidelines": "If you are caught in an argument, keep the discussion focused on issues rather than the personalities involved." To answer your question: The list-admin for this email-list is Marc-Olivier Barre and he can be reached at linux-audio-dev-ow...@lists.linuxaudio.org If you want find out if an email went to the list, check the list-archive: http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev ..or simply the email-header because IIRC the list does not accept emails to it when it has been BCCed. ciao, robin _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
