We are not on the list for political reasons and they should not be the reason for anyone to leave it either. Seems to me there are two Joes. One is a PITA, and should stay on the OT list, and the other is a helpful guy with worthwhile posts. Please, Joe, take the good side of that comment. I have not filtered you out, because I don't want to lost the good side of your posts. What I posted as a passing remark was not intended to promote flame, just pointing out that not all agree with you. Politics really have no place on this list. New start, Joe?

Each of us are entitled to our own opinions, and we are all free to express them. There is no censorship here. I like to think we all want to keep our discussions polite , if for no other reason that it tends to weakens our own case to resort to bad language, and that is a pitty, when it often is the case, that an individual does have something to worthwhile to contribute. So ordinary good manners aid any individuals contribution. It has to be recognised though that people will loose their tempers from time to time, and it says as much about our collective self to recognise that, how a community deals with that is a measure of it's greatness. Now I would just like to say that the OT list exists for OT discusion, why not use it, and as soon at you feel the need happening, just transfer it with a note saying as such.It's not difficult to repost it to the newbieOT list.

RE: [newbie] WE R @ it again.......my humblest apologies..
Frank, I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. I figure that I'm relatively accomplished at Linux / Unix related stuff, but I don't know everything there is know (and so therefore still have much to learn). I've been on several linux related mailing lists. I can proudly trace my involvement (albeit largely unofficial) with LPI back to June 1999, with the Redhat Mailing lists back to February '99, and on this list (albeit with 3 different mailing addresses) to sometime in 2001. Unfortunately, I've not had nearly as much time to keep up with what's going on here (I'm subscribed to 26 e-mail lists currently, which I will probably be paring back again soon). I still haven't launched mdklinuxfaq.org (even though I had hoped to have at least a basic page in place by now). By the way, you can get to Vincent Danen's twiki via twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org also I've always tried to aim high on everything I do -- so here's to hoping, Frank, that you're on the list for another 10 years!
