On a serious note this kind of angry young man attitude on public list only piss off newbies and genuine users. Banning people from mailing list for on such offense is like murdering someone because they had collided with you under nearly zero visibility.

I wasn't sure whether he was a newbie or a seasoned spammer. I thought of giving him 24 hours to give an explanation and apology before I ban invoke the ban. As he hasn't yet given an explanation, I will put him under ban. I once again remind the list members that such careless spamming of the mailing lists can lead to getting banned. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH10w5k4vYYS/wECYRAvwpAJ9pgka8f3n39o37wqKJej/CN7kcOACfYHuw 8VLDoQsIpRDYruUZWPP48nE= =3dlF -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[ubuntu-in] NetGear WG311V3 wireless adapter does not work in Hardy Heron
When I first used Ubuntu Fiesty Fawn, I had problem making my NetGear WG311v3 to work on my PC. I searched in the net and got a good documentation in Ubuntu forums. The problem got fixed once I followed the documentation. I was happy surfing! When I upgraded Ubuntu from Fiesty Fawn to Gutsy Gibbon, the upgrade was smooth and my wireless connectivity was in tact. After some months of use of Gutsy Gibbon, I was curious to upgrade Ubuntu to Hardy Heron. When I upgraded to Hardy Heron, the wireless connection was still working. After a few days, I got an automatic update, and then on my wireless connection does not work. I checked up ndiswrapper package. It is still active. I am giving below my wi-fi connection setting details. I tried to manually change the settings, but failed. I need help from someone who can fix this problem. * Active Connection Inform: Interface:**Wireless Ethernet (wlan0)* *Speed: **1Mb/sec* *Driver:ndiswrapper IP Address: 0.0.0.0 Broadcast Address: 0.0.0.0 Subnet Mask:0.0.0.0 Default Route: 0.0.0.0 Primary DNS:0.0.0.0 Secondary DNS:0.0.0.0 Hardaware Address: 00:1B:2F:2C:6F:1E * -- D.

However, I am much more of a hard-liner with respect to such nonsense. While I can sympathise with a newbie who does this without realising the implication, this sort of an attitude is actively encouraged by so-called services like Twitter.

Re: [ubuntu-in] phoenix24 wants to keep up with you on Twitter
Hi, You know what is this. When you register to some this sort of social services, they ask you for GMAIL/YAHOO/MSN etc account login in their next page, and skipping that page is little tricky. So decieved person logins with their email account and these service bastards copies all the emails from address book adn sends automatic mails to we. Huh, just a misuse.
