And what besides a critique did you contribute here?
Linux in the classroom is VERY important in my opinion.
and even moreso for SuSE/Novell.
The majority of server installs I did when I was a tech was Novell in schools.
I have done lots of work for school districts, and I prefer SuSE.
I started reading this thread hoping to interject my success with ltsp, and
would like to see SuSE more involved with k12ltsp.org. Seems a perfect match
with the benefit of Novell's inroads already with the school system.
I forget which distro Jim is/was using for ltsp, but is wasn't SuSE. I used
SuSE for my ltsp stuff and did the best I could to champion it with him for
that project.
What Novell is doing with M$, what they are doing with SuSE, what is happing
in the markets, public opinion, (even jokes, which poke at known public
opinions) is all relevant to SuSE a go.
The more information I have to champion the cause (SuSE, not list etiquette),
the better. That this list provide technical information / answers to the
folks that are discovering SuSE, is a great thing. That this list
contributes to arming those that are able to help make a go of SuSE, and
bring in more users, gain insights that help pacify PHB's, all the better.
The people that complain about posts, and contribute only if the letter of the
law is followed only stifle progress.

a) Not everyone interested in volunteering or making a useful to
contribution for such event will subscribe to the OT list.
Then they should restrain themselves and refrain from posting OT.
b) Strictly speaking this is about assistance in helping setting up
Linux, so is much less off topic than some, and is arguably on topic...
grep -i suse article
results in no output
c) I do NOT think that this is a particularly diplomatically useful
response I can only assume that you neglected to read the OP before
responding...
You think that Randall posted after noticing the subject line rather
than reading the post?
What response would be diplomatically useful and, providing you have
a better response, why didn't you diplomatically advise the poster
the proper channel for his post?
I cite a partial quote from a respected member of this list:

The opensuse@opensuse.org list is already unusable for anything besides
pointless off-topic discussions.
So please, let us use *this* list for real work, actions, not
blathering.
