Re: Returning from "vacation". (MIA?)
Folks, My most humble apologies. It has become quite clear that the culture that the DD community shares has evolved in my absence. My absence disallowed me to evolve with it. The culture you now enjoy is not the one I left. I truly didn't expect to be attacked on my first post. I also truly didn't expect to be further lambasted from all quarters for responding to them. I know now that I have no place in your current culture. Debian has moved on, and so have I. The old saw about never being able to go "back" has just been reinforced in my mind. Please consider me permanently retired, and configure my LDAP entry accordingly. I wish you all the best of luck. Keep up the excellent work.

Re: Returning from "vacation". (MIA?)
*sigh* I hate to start off my return to the Project this way, but I just can't let this one go unanswered. :^( On Tue, May 13, 2003 at 10:48:45PM -0400, Matt Zimmerman wrote: > On Tue, May 13, 2003 at 07:05:38PM -0500, Clay Crouch wrote: > > > And please don't be offended by the .sig. > > That .sig is problematic beyond just its content; it is 12 lines long and > adds almost 1kb to each of your messages (probably longer than the contents > of many messages).

Hmmm An ettiquette lesson before a "welcome back" and a work assignemnt, just because you find my anti-spam measures draconian and my filter bypass info in my sig to be annoying. Charming, to be sure Pleased to meet you *plonk* And yes I am fully aware of "nettiquette" and it's dim view on long sigs. I had planned to trim out the text that caused you so much angst after a few transmissions, once anyone here who might give a damn had actually seen it. I drop that tagline into any new places I venture about 5 times before I trim it, as a standard practice. Since I've been gone a while, d-d sort of qualifies as "new" for the purpose, don't ya think? > > Procmail is a godsend, dealing with anywhere between 25 to 100 spams a day > > on three of my email addresses.

Rest assured, I made my choice of anti-spam tactics while being fully informed about several other filtering options. I couldn't possibly care less what you do or do not recommend for spam filtration techniques. Five percent failure, eh? Try zero percent, with zero false positives. And the "headaches" for "legitimate" communications are almost all mine, since I make the choices and adjust ~/.procmailrc accordingly. *plonk* Now Can the QA team use an additional 5-20 hours a week of volunteer help from an already-registered Developer? Could the Project use another Alpha autobuilder?

Coming back from "vacation". (MIA?)
Folks, Things have finally settled down, and I once again have some spare time to devote to Debian after a 2-year absence The new sysadmin job is going well. The new child is growing up. The new house is now home. The Everquest Addiction(tm) has faded. Etc. :^) For the time being, I am getting back up to speed on the new policy changes and project directions. Once I get comfortable again with the Project, and all the new stuff that has happened, I will pick up some work from the QA team, and find my niche again. At least, I will if there is still room for me here. :^) And please don't be offended by the .sig. Procmail is a godsend, dealing with anywhere between 25 to 100 spams a day on three of my email addresses. I will see anything on debian-devel and on debian-private, but if anyone sends me private mail, please follow the directions below Cheers! ___ / Clay Crouch | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ +--++ | PGP 94781680: 020E 793B 455D 9737 5956 1A3B 0AE8 807A 9478 1680 | | GPG 7D2AD631: 2319 2356 FEDF 4631 63F3 762A E443 1C2A 7D2A D631 | +---+ | I loathe spam.

Well I have finally gotten around to doing the (trivial) -2 of Fidelio, which checks for a system-wide default bookmark file at /usr/share/doc/fidelio/default/bookmarks. I just uploaded it about 5 mins ago The default bookmark file I am shipping with it is rather basic. It contains only 15 trackers and the single default bookmark. But it does allow the local sysadmin to adjust the system-wide defaults, now, and the user can actually find a number of servers on their first run. :^) Cheers! ____ / Clay Crouch, UNIX Weenie ;^> | <http://danno.tzo.com/~danno> \ | Linux Administration/Consulting | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | Debian Package Maintainer| <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | +--+-+ |"Away put your weapon; I mean you no harm." -- Master Yoda | +| | 1024D/7D2AD631: 2319 2356 FEDF 4631 63F3 762A E443 1C2A 7D2A D631 | \/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
