(so why did you send this to the linux.nf list??)
But I agree with you 100%. Every other list I have *ever* joined works by
just hitting 'reply', but some of the S.O.B.'s on the SuSE list think that
their way is the 'pure' way. And I think I'm going to drop that list just
because of it. More because of the attitude than having to spend the time
to make sure the mail goes to the right place.
