Since you have so obviously little taste when it comes to mailing list etiquette, you probably aslo have bad taste when it comes to dolphins, so I think it an enticing idea to try some. Yumm!! I can almost taste it now ... nice fillets of dolphin flesh, all that smooth string muscle just waiting for my carving nice. But I will cook it first.

I don't mind something off topic as in related to computers at least. Last time I checked, dolphins do not run Gentoo, Linux or even windoze for that matter.

You seem to be evidently void of any sense of relevance and proportionality. This is a 'gentoo-user' mailing list intended to serve the needs of gentoo-users; specific support and discussion needs which are relevant to the Gentoo meta-distribution.

You do know that some people have to pay for how much data they use right? They may not in the US or in some countries but I know there used to be a guy on here that had to pay a monthly fee plus so much depending on how much data he got. So if he is still here, he is paying for spam, including this message I'm sorry to say. Me, I try not to go to a Windoze list and spam them with Linux questions. I don't do that out of respect for the other people on the list. They may not want to here about Linux anyway. Maybe what we need here is a moderator and a ban list. Spam the list, get banned. Do it enough, you get banned for good. That may solve the problem. It would just seem to me that it is easier for us to not let people spam the list than to have the above happen. I have once or twice asked a windoze question on here but I kept it as brief as I could. I was trying to get Samba to share with my soon to be ex's laptop. Some people unlike me use windoze too. Some here may even be really good at it. It's the same with top posting or using HTML. You may do it, but you may not get the replies you need either.

Yes, but we love it. I would continue, but I'm going to the cheese shop in front of the Ministry of Silly Walks. Kidding apart... The aim of it all is that the massive response to the attempted spamming should in principle avoid recidive behaviour. It's all about estirpating the bad plants before they invade the field. Aggelos seems to have left the ml, so it's a good result on our side. The problem is that if you leave people like Aggelos undisturbed, the ML will become 90% off topic and 10% on topic posts in less than a month. This kind of apparently senseless effort actually makes sense, trust me. And it's fun too. :) m. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] off topic : Dolphin massacre in Japan
The post that I made was satire. Its porpoise was to inspire a laugh, a chuckle, at most a humorous response. Not a debate. Debates are for serious people. Look the fact is every day: * A dolphin is killed * A cow is killed * Someone litters * Someone is killed/tortured in some war-torn nation * A young child is sexually molested by someone close to them * Jesus kills a kitten The point is this is not the tree-huggin-peace-lovin-let-the-dolphins-live mailing list. If I wanted to discuss that crap, I'd join that list. This is gentoo-user. We discuss (Gentoo) Linux. If we welcome every other issue that any subscriber just happens to also have a passion about then we should just rename the list to... whatever.

To the contrary, I think that the OP has a lot to do with Gentoo and Linux in general. You see every day, like the poor Japanese Dolphins, countless numbers of cows are murdered every day. They are slaughtered, cut up, ground into little bits, you name it, all in the name of greed (both in terms of money and food). These innocent little souls are brought to an early death so that some may enjoy a half pound greasy burger or perhaps a 12 oz. prime rib (with grilled onions, mashed potatoes, and cream corn on the side). Like our Rising Sun Flipper, we must do something to stop the bovine genocide. Remember that our mascot and transgendered spiritual leader, Larry, is a cow, and therefore shares the same risk to his life as Willy or Bessie. And if they can go after dolphins and cows, then can penguins be next? Could little Tux's life be in danger as well? These are the things every (Gentoo) Linux user should be concerned about. Kudos to the OP for bringing this important issue to our attention! -m -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Post it in the off topic section of the Gentoo forums I guess but posting these on a mailing list is pretty much spam.
