And as a complete newb trying to wrestle with some of the concepts here, may I add my thanks here for clarifying yet another well-understood matter which leaves us floundering. Thanks again to all who have diffused some of the mystique which surrounds BSD from time to time. ++ Graham Todd signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: Let People Find You in Google!

Now, Now, I never expected to see sarcasm on this list:-) As far as I remember, this post wasn't the only incidence of SPAM that day, and so I'd have to agree with you. Until the Mods find a way to filter most spam (the list will perhaps forgive the odd oversight), people will call for more and more draconian measures that will not be really effective. One way is to make the list a members list where the members have to agree to a Code of Conduct or the Mods COULD bar them from participating, but it not the only way Lets have a non-heated debate about ways to reduce SPAM on the list in order to get some consensus, then put any proposal to all the existing list members. In other words, lets have some democracy when dealing with these thorny issues. ++ Graham Todd Email created using gNewSense Linux 3.0 and hardened with Liberté Linux 2012.3.
