I think a better suggestion would be to post mail rules including how to unsubscribe, to search before posting a question, using subjects, posting in plain text vice HTML, and other irritations. I have voluteered to start a effort to do this. I would like RH to do this when a person subscribes and then to post the 'rulez' once a week in the list. Also, I kindly suggest that we respond to these folks, off-line to keep the amount of traffic down in the list. -- James McKenzie James McKenzie A Proud User of Linux!
