And I also agree that it helps to use an e-mail reader that can thread properly. I was using my Yahoo account for these messages until a few weeks ago, and now I am using Gmail. Gmail will automatically group all threads into "conversations". It's easy to simply click on a conversation and archive it. It's also easy to filter out conversations and send them directly to the trash (i.e. the suck/flame threads). But I want to put my comments here as well about the original post. I also agree with Darren (original poster) that the contents of these messages lately have been out of hand. Of course the last thing Darren wanted was for this thread to turn into another "fedora sucks" or "fedora flame #1"... or was it? Look how many responses there are already. This thread has nothing to do with making contributions or helping solve people's problems. Darren complains about flame-bait, and look what has happened. This board should be about us making suggestions and helping each other. If you want to start another message list just to talk about message lists, go ahead. But leave this one for issues involving Fedora, not the posters. Is the Fedora Community under threat? Certainly, and it's because of posts like this. Just my 2 cents. I don't claim to be an expert in anything... Linux, or mailing lists... but I do try to help out other people, and in return, when I have an issue, I hope other people will help me out. -- David ----------------------------------------------------------------------- There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.
