Oh my god. Shlomi, like the Hebrew joke on "noach in 7 errors", it seems you've made every possible mistake in the same message. First, is your presumption that a mailing list specificially called "ubuntu-women" will want a *man* to subscribe. Second, the first thing you do on a list is offend some of the things that its subscribers believe in (women liberation, affirmative acction, linuxchix - at least I'm glad you used the phrase "feminist pedanticness" rather than the disgusting term "feminazis"!) Third, believe me, when you intruduce yourself as having a mental illness (or philosophical mood, or whatever you call it) and "curly black hair which expands radially" (?) and as someone who "got banned from LinuxChix" - this can be understood as just one of two things - either your are creepy, or you're trying to appear creepy (i.e., a troll). Neither of these things are welcome on any mailing list, not just this one. Fourth, you storm into a mailing list thinking that you're its saviour, and know how to solve all its problems. This thinking isn't welcome on any mailing list, and certainly not when you're a man on a woman's mailing list. Fifth, you go into a mailing list with a specific technical goal, and start talking about general issues like "Life vs. Death". That is bound to annoy people. If you had made just one of these mistakes, I am guessing you'd be forgiven. But making them all at once??? > No. the Ubuntu-women mailing list is meant to promote Women in Linux.

See for example: Shlomi, isn't it obvious to you that the way that Ubuntu's mailing lists and IRC channels are run have almost *NOTHING* to do with the quality of the OS they produce? If Microsoft Windows's forum had been very friendly, would you switch to that OS instead? -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Jun 8 2008, 5 Sivan 5768 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |I intend to live forever - so far, so http://nadav.harel.org.il |good. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
