Fw: [newbie] Please no more No-one uses Linux, says Microsoft posts!
I concur with Charles Punch! I've received over 60 e-mails in 2 days since I applied to have them sent. Many were repetive and far beyond newbie understanding . Screen them if you can or remove me from your mailing list. Thx Chuck - Original Message - From: Charles A.

I don't want (and I sure most of you don't either) mailboxes filled with all these inane replies. Please limit you posts to Q A related to Linux probs and fixes. Are there any moderators in this list. Can we stop this! Thanks for my rant and keep up the good work! Newbie, But not for long. Your request falls under it's own weight. Your own reply was not limited to technical Q A, but was just another inane reply. You are practicing the very thing you are complaining about. The social acceptance of Open Source is connected in many ways to the technical problems. I would like to see problems prevented, rather than letting them keep springing up and then fixing them with technology. That is what Microsoft has been selling us for years and it is time for a change. If this list is specifically for technical solutions, Is there any rule that specifies this, or is it just your own inane opinion.

Screen them if you can or remove me from your mailing list. Thx Chuck Chuck, You can filter your messages if you are using KMail and direct them straight into the trash. Click settings, then filter rules. when new window pops up, click the first drop down box and select subject, the next drop down should read contains, enter No one uses Linux, leave the next box as ignore, go to the first box that says nothing, ckick it and select Transfer. a new window will pop up and you click on the drop down that says default and select trash. Unfortunately, you have to remove yourself from the list as well. The instructions are on the Mandrake website where you signed up.

Don: This is an unmoderated mail list. That means if you send it, we read it. You just have to accept that these things will happen once in a while. Consider it to be part of the charm of the place ... along with the occasional multiple postings. I don't know what mail reader you're using, but I've found Netscape's DELETE key very useful.
