I'll second that, Margot. As an oldtimer on this list - going back
to Mdk 7.1 - I have always enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, i.e. the
technical stuff spiced with the occasional humor and OT jokes. Do
you remember good, ol' Civileme ? - Especially the friendly tone
and the non-flaming of newcomers. - Even newcomers who
immediately promote themselves to list-Nazis ;-)
Cheers...
As a similar veteran here, I share that opinion.
If anything it's this list that makes Mandriva newbie friendly and actualy one
of the best assets Mandriva's got.
Without it Mdv would just be a distro (and not even the best) like the rest.
Let's keep as it is/was: Tolerant (lightly) to OT's, ignorance, stupidity and
even top-posters (as long as they snip-down well enough).
I can only remember 2 to 3 cases of people actualy going over the top and
getting kicked/cold_shouldered in all those years.
As a newbie I can only express surprise and shock that people are
greeted like this. Until now, one of mandriva's best recommendations
was it's mailing list. I can only question if some people really *do*
want mandriva to be used.
