I'll try to explain. A mailing list is something most windows users know as a 'newsletter', but usually with more active writers sending mails. Every mail send to a mailing list by a participant, is sent to all its participants. If you subscribe to a mailing list, you will get all mails sent to it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is such a mailing list. To become a participant, you have to subscribe - send an subscription mail AND and a confirmation mail. from the account you intend to use. To unsubscribe, you have to send an unsubscribe mail AND a confirmation mail. So far everything clear? WE CAN NOT STOP SENDING YOU MAILS! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET MAILS FROM GENTOO-USER YOU HAVE TO UNSUBCRIBE! AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT YOURSELF! This has been told to you several times now. What is your problem? Are you 10? Drunk? High? Or maybe a slightly bit retarded? If you did not subscribe, somebody else with access to YOUR ACCOUNT did it. So think about it. Maybe your pw is really bad? (is it 'mom'? Or your name? Your dog's name?) AND AGAIN: WE CAN NOT STOP SENDING YOU MAILS: YOU HAVE STOP TO BE SUBSCRIBED TO THIS LIST! Do you understand?

Questions: 1) why should i contribute to your fund instead of directly contributing to the funds or companies that maintain the linux distribution that i use. 2) There is already a linux standard base www.linuxbase.org...why another one that nobody follows 3) how can your overhead be minimal or nothing ?...the best charitable organizations have 20% overhead... zero overhead implies contribute directly without going through third parties which you are.. 4) better the community ? with what better human beings ? 5) what's the criteria of who deserves to be paid by the money you collect ?
