and i simply say, that if you really want a locked down environment for only emails that you, and your friends/peers feel are appropriate.. then you should create a moderated list of your own... you'd have complete, and utter mastery over what could be submited/posted... but i don't believe the list needs you, or anyone else as it's police.. every so often people tend to pop up, and want to police the list in their image... top/side/bottom posting routinely gets this kind of conversation... peace -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of DJ Delorie Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 3:41 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: New Computer "bruce" <bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > to all you guys who want karl's comments somewhere else.. why don't > you offer to set up a blog for him, if you feel that might be a good > solution for him.. If my kids do something wrong, I make sure they understand that it's their fault, and it's up to them to make it right. Same for Karl. If what he's doing is wrong, it's HIS responsibility to make it right. Not you, not me.

It's not about voting, it's about the list charter. This is the Fedora list. Posts that aren't about Fedora are not appropriate here. Posting such emails to this list is wrong, no matter how much some of us (myself not included) say "it's ok". And being a "regular" here doesn't give you the right to post whatever you feel like posting. *Each* post needs to be on-topic for this list. > or, simply use the delete/filters! So, if someone wants to keep stealing my television, I should just keep buying new ones? I get tens of thousands of emails a day. My filtering system is already complex enough that adding more is not a feasible option, especially when it's so difficult to tell, programatically, what's topical. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
