Thanks so very much to whomever gave us that recognition. BTW I'm not claiming that the OT list didn't exist prior to 7.0, just that's the only time I recall there was a message posted , here,asking if anyone were interested, and when there were say, more than 25 people, that was the start of it..

Re: [opensuse] About offtopic posts
I suppose the reason that OT posts are made here is that no one reads - or subscribes to - the OT list. Besides, the subject says OT, so a reasonably decent filter should flush any OT message for those who detest OT posts. While on the subject of mail, I use kmail. Opensuse has its own folder and anything to do with opensuse gets put there. I then scroll through the messages, scanning the subjects until I see something interesting - to me -. I scan the contents on those that I choose to read and, of those, I keep a few tidbits that might be of help later. Everything else gets flushed. It takes damn little time to go through the hundred-odd messages a day. I don't use message threading, so top posting, bottom posting, comments in the center, none matter to me whatsoever. No one's posting style has raised my blood pressure, but there are a few anal retentives here who need to take a deep breath, get away from the puter and go get laid. Just my 2 cents worth.

Then you ought to have been the first there with this post, correct? Besides, the subject says OT, so a reasonably decent filter should flush any OT message for those who detest OT posts. It's the main reason there was an OT list created. Is it too hard for you (and those who do start the OT crap on *this* list) to subscribe to the OT list and keep 'OT' stuff there? No one's posting style has raised my blood pressure, but there are a few anal retentives here who need to take a deep breath, get away from the puter and go get laid. Those who bitch, as you did above this, are the ones who seem to have trouble *going* to the OT list and following the rules. Maybe if you pulled your willy out once in a while, it'd be easier on *you*. Just my 2 cents worth.
