<counting to 10...> The fact that you replied in the manner you did seems to indicate you felt as though the message was directed at you, which it was not. Other than the fact that it was your post that generated the public re-announcement of [EMAIL PROTECTED], I don't see your name or any language in my reply that specifically singles you out, but now that you felt the need for a snide reply, consider this post directed at you. _The_ point (not mine, but one of general netiquette) is that while the intent of messages of that nature, although genuine, should be either marked <OT> which it wasn't, or posted to the appropriate list, which it wasn't. When a thread gradually moves <OT>, not marking it thus is almost expected, but to start a thread that is <OT> and not mark it as such is not expected. I am almost certain, that I have made <OT> posts and not marked them, so I am not without fault. But as someone who does what he can to help keep the list and the SxS running, I would be remiss in my "duties" to not mention the fact that Doug has taken the time to actually provide those of us who wish to discuss general non linux OS topics a list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and a jobs list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Furthermore, there is a not insignificant portion of the list who don't reside in the US, and an even larger portion of the list who don't even live in this hemisphere, for whom the massage was of little or no value. The corporation I work for are one the the largest recruiting and placement companies in the world. If I were to post to the list messages of job postings that were possibly applicable to skills of list members, it would be more traffic per week than any other 10 members of the list combined generate. Almost 100% of those posts would be of no value to the list members from the UK, Germany, South Africa, South America, Australia, Asia...and so on. So, somewhere, there has to be a compromise, that compromise is [EMAIL PROTECTED] These are not matters for further discussion and debate, these are matters of fact. <TID>, for me, in this case means Thread Is Dead. -- Linux SxS [http://sxs.homeip.net/] _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
