It's a sad day when we must resort to moderation because people can't be bothered to be respectful of the purpose of the list. > but i don't believe the list needs you, or anyone else as it's > police.. This list *has* police. They're called list administrators, and they can blacklist whoever they feel is appropriate, since this is their list and we're here at their sufferance. I'm not an admin, and I don't think this is an appropriate case for such drastic measures. > every so often people tend to pop up, and want to police the list in > their image... Not "my image". The list is the "Fedora" list. It's purpose is in its name. It's not the "Betty Crocker" list, or the "triathlon" list, it's the "Fedora" list. It's not the "building my computer" list. None of this is my *opinion*, it's what the list *is*. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PostIsOffTopic : "What is off-topic?
