Re: Congratulations on a wonderful user group!
WOW! So linus is now a netvision user!! I must say, mister Trovalds, that performing an oversees telephone call (not to mention opening a local ISP account) just to send this one email is an impresive step torwards the local LUGs you eavsdrop on. I am not sure why you did not use one of your usual email addresses, but I'm sure you have had your reasons. Shachar Linus Torvalds wrote: Hi, I'm Linus Torvalds, I assume that most of you have heard my name before. Because of my obvious interest in the success of Linux around the world, I like to, once in a while, subscribe to mailing lists of various Linux user groups and eavesdrop on the discussion. That gives me a nice warm feeling, about my work on Linux really making a difference to real people out there. A few months ago I subscribed to this list (IGLU), and I would like to congratulate you on being one of the most interesting and lively LUGs that I have seen in a long time. I've seen here people taking real interest in Linux, people trying to help one another and form a close and friendly community, people developing free software, and even a few aspiring (and inspiring!) open-source ideologists. It is really heart-warming for me to see this tight community, and I hope that the Middle East could soon become more like this list, a fountain of creativity and brotherhood, and less of what it is today, a fountain of tears and blood. I am looking forward to visiting Israel someday (hopefully soon!) and meeting all you wonderful folks in person. Last but not least, I would like to thank you all for supporting my plea to call our favorite system by a short catchy name, "Linux", instead of longer and more cumbersome names. I read that one of the proponents of these long, ugly, names visited Israel recently, and I was glad to see that he wasn't able to convince you to lower the "Linux" flag. I believe that if we ever want open-source software to succeed, we must all work together and fly one flag, and I think the Linux banner is the one that is most likely to get the attention of the media and of the people worldwide. Continue with the good work you're all doing, and God bless. Linus. = Linus Torvalds,| "Software is like sex, it Linux Head Honcho | is better when it's free!" __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Quoting Linus Torvalds, from the post of Mon, 31 Mar: > Hi, I'm Linus Torvalds, I assume that most of you have heard my name > before. The Linus I know barely has the time for lkml, much less his local LUG, and I find it kind of odd he would use a webmail address rather than a more conveniant one. I am only left with a big question mark here, who IS this poster and what does he really want? to troll the list, pull an April 1st, or (my paranoid hat) harvest our Email addresses for spam?

Come on, the spoof wasn't so bad. The timezone was correct, for starters. Not being a spammer, the spoofer didn't disguise his identity too much (he didn't add spoofed Received: headers, nor even did he spoof the sender address), and made it quite obvious that it was an April 1st joke. The text *could* have been better, though. > I am only left with a big question mark here, who IS this poster and > what does he really want? to troll the list, pull an April 1st, or (my > paranoid hat) harvest our Email addresses for spam? Those who harvest e-mail addresses for spam don't tend to post. > Dear prankster, > Have a happy fool's day, Seconded! > enjoy your GNU/linux and think up a better diguise :) Where are the RFCs?

X-Mailer: Faked mailer 1.4.3 (send-msg 1.108) You don't have to use this. Just replace the address on your normal mailer or manually send a message to a mail server (using the protocol commands).
