No, I expect the list owner to do his or her job and stop
this kind of garbage!!! Posts this far off topic need to have the
list owner tell the posters to stop posting to the list garbage and
if they want to continue with this topic, they need to take it off this list and send between members that want to continue or take it to another proper list where this subject is allowed!!
I vote to keep this thread. It is most certainly on topic for a Fedora list to talk about how to make Fedora more professional and give it wider acceptance. It is not garbage, in my opinion, and I urge the list moderators not to censor "The Thread That Won't Die".
Many of us derived value from the thread. The poster who suggested you "killfile" (aka "plonk") the thread was doing you a favor - allowing you to ignore something you don't want to see that everyone else does. If we followed your suggestion, then the rest of us wouldn't be able to follow the thread, and that wouldn't be fair.
So chill with the exclamation points and follow the very helpful suggestions people keep making in order to try to help you.
