For this list (thanks be!) and many another, there is an excellent alternative. Point your newsreader, not your mailer (I recommend Pan, available via yum, as newsreader) at news.gmane.org, port 119. To be able to post, it suffices to subscribe and at once set your subscription to nomail. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

It's not a forum, the major option for moderation is to block people or put them on moderation (which is quite time consuming). They can tell us to drop it, but if you want to ask them to ask then better to email the admin address rather than the whole list. To be honest though you could just ignore it. There are lots of threads I don't read on here because they're not relevant to me either. Actually, the thread was originally about an issue with fedora documentation. There were two other problems with that particular page, a bug has been filed, it'll get changed at release. The ongoing discussion, if it's not causing real upset, keeps people coming back. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Would the moderators please be kind enough to take this very tiresome off topic -off list- so that discussion about Fedora is not circumvented by trivia. Out of the thousands of lurkers and contributors, some of which are major corporations, gov't agencies, teachers, scientists, people wanting to learn about our Fedora system, beginners, you name it, we have half a dozen folk endlessly recycling opinion in which every contributor is right to some degree but will never convince others so. It is not a discussion of, nor a help with, Fedora or the system, it never was. Thank you Roger Why, people like me, of course. All the right thinking sort :-) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
