to satisfy both those who want to write and read off-topic posts, and
those who want to easily avoid them.

Mike: Thanks for clearing that up.
Kdf: That's an incredibly melodramatic knee-jerk response to 1 thread.
Why not wait and see what happens first? It's would be a real shame if
you stopped contributing, especially just to make a point.
However, in light of the new subforums, i don't think

Peter,
the logic is they could use their mail app to filter the ONE thread
out.
there are now THREE threads to complain about one thread! that is
rather absurd.

Really? So political and sports subjects are alright, but discussing the
use of the list is not? I see

Maybe you guys are on to something. We should ban any discussion about
accessing the BBC - who cares, I don't listen to it. Same about
problems with accented characters - why don't these people just use
American English like I do. If they did, they'd have no problems.
And, we should limit forum

thx for joining me in my request.
and yes, discussing the use of the forum is fine, but that was really
secondary to the complaining nature of the three threads, and moreover,
could have been discussed all in one complaining thread.
in any case, lets just work towards the

Goede idee. Dat is fijn met mij. Ou bien, nous pouvons avoir une

All,
a solution exists. just as there is a music forum for discussing
music, we could request that slim creates a forum for discussing any
and everything not slim related or covered by another existing forum.
we could also request General Discussion be renamed to General

I honestly can't believe what a fuss is being made. 1 thread. 1 single

i'll just reiterate what i said in the other thread that complains
about a single thread:
slim should make a forum for topics that have nothing to do with slim,
and probably rename general discussion to general discussion about
slim, if in fact thats what it is.

I subscribe to this list for Squeezebox info and not all of this
